📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#TwelfthBookOf2024

To say I love this book would be an understatement! I loved every single thing about the book, and I wouldn't want to change a thing at all.

I am going to start with a character I disliked to an extent: Brittany-Rae. So, Brittany, what made you fall for Johnny? His inability to lie to your face or what? Or you were just looking for an excuse to leave Jamal because you couldn't get past the fact that he lied to you. You upended your life for a man you met for a few months, got married, and moved to a new country for someone you weren't sure about, solely based on the fact that he couldn't lie to you😑

I also disliked Kemi to an extent; the biggest marketing firm recruited you personally, and you accepted just because you allowed your twin sister to make the decision for you. Twin telepathy, my foot! You cheated; fucking own up to it!!

My dearest Muna, you are really inquisitive and curious, aren't you? Most people wouldn't want to share their emotional baggage with you just because you told them a couple stories of yours. I wish what happened to you didn't happen. 😪

In summary, I loved how the ladies didn't become friends; their individuality was something I appreciated😍. This book touched on manyaspects,s such as racism, tokenism, fetishism and the rest.

To the next book in the trilogy,"EVERYTHING IS NOT ENOUGH"

📖RATINGS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(5 STARS)

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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

#16 NETGALLEY READ: SOMEONE LIKE YOU

📖 BOOK TITLE: SOMEONE LIKE YOU 📖AUTHOR: SANDY BARKER 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #134thBookOf2024 Thank you to Netgalley, Boldwood Books, and Sandy Barker for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. I would have rated this 3.5 stars, but I rounded it up to 4 stars. The whole transition from friends to lovers took me on a ride, and I really thought that both Raff's and Gaby's HEAs (Happily Ever After) would not happen due to some circumstances on both MCs part. "Someone Like You" is the fourth book in the "Ever After Agency Series," and I read this book as a standalone even without reading the rest in the series. Honestly, I feel that no one can be as dumb and oblivious as Raff. Like, seriously, dude, how can you not know when someone is flirting with you? The whole matchmaker bit got me excited (that's a dream job). Overall, I really enjoyed this story, even if I thought it was way too long and dragging ...

#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'...
