📖AUTHOR: LUCY CLARKE

📖GENRE: MYSTERY&THRILLER

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#LetterO of My Alphabet Challenge #SixthBookOf2024 #JanuaryBookclubPick

Six girls, one murderer—who did it and why?
I loved the way the girls stories intertwined with each other, how the story kept me guessing, and how each of the girls had to come through for Lexi. It was like Lexi was a force to be reckoned with! None of them could refuse her.

When your best friend decides to throw your hen party, you can't imagine that something will go wrong.
I didn't like how the book ended; with all the buildup of secrets, I expected the ending to be more intense. It felt more like women's fiction than a mystery or thriller.

📖QUOTES:

"The bravest thing any of us can do is ask for help.”

''You can’t please everyone"

"The biochemistry of our bodies changes when we spend time with good friends."

“I know something about those choices. The ones we make for other people.”

"To overcome fear, one has to face it."

"All that’s important is what you feel"

"I’m starting to wonder if the things I’m afraid of are the very things I should be doing.”

“Isn’t it strange how sometimes the worst things that happen

to us end up being the best?”

“Maybe we all need to stop trying to meet everyone else’s expectations—and just meet our own.”

"he made the ordinary feel extraordinary"

"Life was fragile and fleeting and mostly out of your control, and all you could do was surround yourself with good people, do your best."

"Life. What a big fucking mystery"

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW

📖 BOOK TITLE: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW 📖AUTHOR: FARAH HERON 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #127thBookOf2024 Yes, this book is a little bonkers. This is a very unconventional love story, and you have to really get at it to grasp the story between Jay and Aleeza. You know I love everything time travel/parallel universe-related, and with each fiction book I read about this topic, my mind is blown away every single time. Yes, there's more mystery elements than the rom-com because how can Aleeza be in love with Jay, who is not even in her timeline, talk about a guy who is unavailable? I loved how put together this book was, how the mystery elements worked together; there was no point in this book that was left to assumptions; everything was explained well without being boring and overly descriptive. Overall, I really enjoyed this story, and definitely this will not be my last Farah Heron's book. 📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📖QUOTES: ♤ Time isn’t linear. There are an infin...

#17 NETGALLEY READ: SOME LIKE IT SCOT

📖 BOOK TITLE: SOME LIKE IT SCOT 📖AUTHOR: PEPPER BASHAM 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #135thBookOf2024 Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. It has been long since I've felt all the feels of a romantic swoon, and this book filled my heart with a renewed faith in love and what love can do to a person. I kept wishing for this book not to end for me to continue immersing myself in the richness of the love story between Graeme (I pronounce this as "grim" in my head; I hope that is correct 😂) and Katie. These two give a whole different meaning to love, 🥰🥰 and I love it for them. Katie, the travel writer who does not have roots in any place, meets Graeme, who has a loving family in Mull and is not thinking of going anywhere any time soon. After meeting our two MCs, I thought that maybe this was just going to be a fling, but alas, with these two, the word fling doesn'...
