#7Netgalley read

This book is coming out in 2024 and when I saw it on Netgalley I couldn't just pass, I had to see what this book entails and I was definitely not expecting this much drama, in Owen's imagined voice " I don't do drama" 😂

So when a grandmother takes her daughter and her granddaughter on a great adventure to Peru, they didn't know that a lot of drama will unfold and their grand adventure will turn to a therapy session. So much secrets! So much crying!! So much drama!!!

Bonnie the grandmother got married 3 times, became a widow 3 times and she is just seventy. Bonnie has a very sad backstory, I felt pity for her but I was happy that everything she ever dreamed of having, she eventually got it.

Sandra the daughter started dating an a$$hole when she was in uni who was constantly cheating on her and using her and she knew but she decided to marry him because she loved him so much. After giving him her all and giving birth to his 2 kids; love definitely wasn't enough to sustain him and even during the marriage he was still cheating and the kids knew that their father was cheating. Very sad too but I didn't feel pity for her because she said she enjoyed the love he showered on her and she doesn't regret being with him😒

Heather the daughter became the emotional dumping ground for her mother's feelings, she wasn't allowed to feel her own feelings (if this sentence is correct) but she was now in charge of consoling and managing her mom who is an adult.

The book was centered on the 3 of them dealing with their transgenerational baggages and I enjoyed every bit of it, because this is an ARC I don't want to include spoilers in this review because this is a very early review

THE REUNION BY KAYLA OLSON

📖 BOOK TITLE: THE REUNION 📖AUTHOR: KAYLA OLSON 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #155thBookof2024 I really wanted to love this; I mean, look at this stunning cover, but it is what it is, and I didn't love it 😩. It was like the author wanted to shove the love interest down my throat 😂😂. One thing this love story between Liv and Ransom did was make me cringe. I even lowkey hated the MMC's name 😩😑. The chemistry was not there, and it just felt as if Liv didn't have any other option than to date Ransom. Boy told you he wanted space; he didn't talk to you, and after so many years, he waltzed back into your life like he never left. The synopsis made it feel like Ransom was the reason Liv went into isolation 😑😑. Liv- I love your personality and your charisma, but your love story with Ransom was one I so detested 🙁. 📖 RATINGS : 2 STARS ⭐⭐ 📖🌸 READ IF YOU LIKE: 🌸 She has always loved him 🌸 Friends to strangers to lovers 🌸 Second chance romance 🌸 Hollywoo...

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU

📖BOOK TITLE: MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU 📖AUTHOR: CLARE OSONGCO 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #151stBookOf2024 Midnights With You is incredibly painful and sad—I say painful because it shines a light on the amount of harm that painful parent-child relationships cause on children and young adults. Upon seeing the cover, I was expecting a young adult romance, and I didn't even read the synopsis, so I was so shocked to discover the content. It was extremely painful to read and witness what was happening to Deedee, who felt so lost, so unloved, carrying all the shame and guilt all for no reason. Before reading, please ensure you read the trigger warnings, and I am going to add it to my review: This story contains on-page depictions of a parent being emotionally abusive, slapping, depression, grief, and racism. It also mentions the off-page death of a parent and off-page domestic violence and contains a brief scene of on-page sexual harassment. This is the kind of story...

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND BY KATHLEEN WHYMAN

📖 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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
