📖 BOOK TITLE: HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND? 📖AUTHOR: KATHLEEN WHYMAN  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #154thBookof2024 I love this book, the humor! The drama! And the mystique surrounding Scott and his numerous problems. I can't believe Marie and his ex-wife married this guy. Scott is an a$$hole, and he deserves to be treated as such. Those poor innocent kids 😩. While humor was a big part of the novel, this book shines a light on serious topics such as infidelity, gaslighting, serial lying, and paternal irresponsibility towards children, just to say the least. I had so much fun laughing while reading this book and gained awareness of how lies and subtle gaslighting build up! What Scott did is unacceptable! And my heart goes out to all the things he did to the women he was with; what a gag🤮🤢. And yes, there is a love interest 🥰🥰🥰. 📖 RATINGS : 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖 BOOK TITLE: THE ONLY BLACK GIRL IN THE ROOM 📖 AUTHOR : ALEX TRAVIS  📖 THOUGHTS&OPINIONS :  # 153rdBookof2024 Initially, when I started, I had mixed feelings about this book because it felt as though Genevieve was constantly complaining about everything, from her workplace to her coworkers, her friends, and even her relationship. And I was just bored. I got really interested when Jude came into the story, and even then it just made the story manageable. I loved how this book ended, and you can definitely see how the characters have grown ❤️. Despite how bored I was from the beginning, this book shines a light on racism, microaggressions, workplace disparities, and the rest. 📖 RATINGS : 3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐

📖 BOOK TITLE: MURDER LEADS TO MARRIAGE  📖AUTHOR: SHANNON PEEPLES 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #152ndBookof2024 Thank you to the author for allowing me to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. First of all, there were so many characters that I couldn't even keep track, and there were so many side stories that I thought weren't necessary to the plot. I wanted a mystery, but I got some kind of romance for the Hurley family. The synopsis got me so hyped up, and I was so excited for the drama that comes with mystery/thriller. Unfortunately, I didn't love this story, so much dragging dialogue from unnecessary characters that when the main mystery started, which is the kidnapping of one of the Hurley sisters, something felt amiss; as quickly as the kidnap scene started, it ended almost as quickly. I felt I missed a chapter or something like that. Some things didn't add up, which was a major dealbreaker for me, and I felt as though the genre and synops...
