Just Because by Matthew McConaughey

May 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The book Just Because is a very Matthew McConaughey type book. His more laid back, modern take on things come out on the pages. He has several “just because” statements. Just because I told a lie, does not make me a liar. Or just because I have the gold (the biggest package) does not mean I won.

I don’t think I read […]
