If we were friends in real life, or part of a book club let’s say, then you would know that I have a big, huge, reader crush on Colleen Hoover. If you read the kind of books I read, then you totally get why I heart her so much. You will also understand why I made a Diet Pepsi Cocktail that I have affectionately dubbed “The Colleen Hoover”. Why a Diet Pepsi Cocktail? Because I know from excellent social media stalking that Colleen loves Diet Pepsi. Why Colleen Hoover as inspiration? I don’t know, go read a book called Hopeless and then ask yourself if the real question isn’t why everything isn’t named after her. ~Rachel
