📖BOOK TITLE: IN EVERY MIRROR SHE'S BLACK

📖AUTHOR: LOLA AKINMADE AKERSTROM

📖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)

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...

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...
