  • Before I let Go (Book)

    Book: Before I Let Go

    Author: Kennedy Ryan

    By: Cece Hymes

    This book was awesome. I loved it. I like a good love story. This book was about a couple Yasmen and Josiah who had been together for years. They were married with three kids. They loved and always had a great attraction to each other. Then they had a couple of deaths in the family and lost themselves. Yasmen went into a depression and had a dark place. She got out of her Marriage and got a divorce.

    It’s been two years since they were separated but the two are still co-parenting and love their kids no matter what. They share a business together and still do all that together while being separated. They learn to get along. Yasmen has therapy and is getting back to her normal self and even getting better with her feelings and communication.

    Josiah decides it’s time to date and move on, so he starts seeing a lady that works at the job. No matter what Yasmen and Josiah still are in love with each other and fight the feelings they have for each other. They really can’t see each other with other people. They try to work through their feelings while trying to move on. They both realize that they are just not ready to date anyone else.

    I don’t want to give away the book but what I really like about the book is the love they have for one another and how they put their kids first in everything that they do. They talk things out together. That’s how real Co-Parenting works. I also love that therapy can be a blessing to people and it’s never too early to get help.

    I loved this book if you love a love story and seeing real-life struggles in it. This is the book for you. It has some sad and humorous parts in it.

    Let me know what you think of the book. Also, follow me @Cece.Atl and @Cecebookclub.

  • A Night out in Atlanta GA

    A Night Out

    Atlanta, Ga

    By: Cece Hymes

    Went out and hung out with some friends for a birthday gathering in Atlanta. First time going on a party bus. We went on the Go Go Party bus. It was nice. The driver was really nice and on time. The Party bus had lights in it, music, and a pole if you want to dance. It holds about 25 people. I really enjoyed this.

    The first step was to The Clutch Restaurant. It was a really nice restaurant in Atlanta Ga. The food was Great I ended up having the Shrimp and Grits which was good. We tried the wings which were good and the brussels sprouts. They have Live music playing after a certain time. It is classy and nice. The customer service was good.

    The last place we ended up going was the Parlor Lounge which was cool. They played House music. The people were cool and it’s a nice laid-back place. It’s like a chill spot to go to and dance. The smell when you came in wasn’t too good but once in the back and down to the dance floor you couldn’t smell it.

    It was a nice day to get out and enjoy the Atlanta area and to try and do some new things and try new places. If you tried these places let me know what you liked about them. Make sure to follow me at @Cece.atl and @Cece.atlbucketlist
