📖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)

FROM ONE TO FIVE

Another Saturday, another bookish rant😂😊. Welcome to another chapter of weekly special book lovers 📚😍. The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change? The other day I saw a post on Instagram about whether book reviewers still made use of "stars" when reviewing books, and I was compelled to make this a topic on my book segment! So the question is, 'Do reviewers and generally book lovers still make use of stars when reviewing books?' As a book reviewer myself, I love making use of stars, and I will never stop making use of them except a better system comes up for scaling books 😂. It is also true that I correct my ratings accordingly. What do I mean by this? This is what I mean: when rating books, I go by my mood and excitement after completion of the book, and I immediately rate books. I may look back on my emotions after reading a particular book and correct my ratings. I recently...

WHO AM I?

In this chapter of the Weekly Special, I am going to dive into who I am aside from being a book reviewer! I know y'all are probably thinking that all I do with my time is read books and rate them on a scale of five 😂😂. Probably not! So the question is, Who is RayoReads? I am Rayo, and this is who I am aside from reading and reviewing books. 1. I am a student at Delta State University in Abraka studying physiology. How cool, right? (just joking) 😂😂 . When school is in session,studies take up most of my time, which is why I am so happy when we go on breaks. 2. I am a very introverted person, which you will have guessed, so no partying, going out , excessive friends, and the rest. 3. I am an indoors person, but that does not mean I sleep a lot 💤😂 .P.S.: I don't like taking afternoon naps. 4. I am not a big social person, but you can find me on Facebook: ( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087184700959&mibextid=ZbWKwL ) Instagram (...
