BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: PEOPLE PERSON

📖BOOK TITLE: PEOPLE PERSON

📖AUTHOR: CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#LetterP Of My Alphabet Challenge #EighteenthBookOf2024

My second time reading Candice's work: the first being Queenie and now People Person 😍 I am really excited that I got the chance to read People Person. So back to the review:

5 people bound by blood from one parental side

5 different people with different backgrounds

5 people with a non-present father

And 5 people with blood on their hands literally 💉👐

Only a few years ago, their father 'Cyril' brought them to a park to get to know themselves and not to fuck each other in the future because they were siblings (Cyril's words, not mine 🤷🏽‍♀️).

When Dimple calls Nikisha to come help her, she has no idea that her elder sister would call her remaining half siblings to drop what they were doing to come help her move a "dead body." The Penningtons had partially decided to stick with each other through dead bodies and blackmails literally.

Even through all these, I loved the narrative of the book. How each single mom filled the shoes of both father and mother in their child's life is just amazing. Dimple still needs therapy, though😂.

My favorite characters will be Pyrnce and Danny. Pyrnce was so wise despite his age, and Danny was so calm and collected.

Lizzie was full of rage. Nikisha was bossy (I can't deny that fact😂).

Dimple was full of emotions, including the fact that she was naive at the age of 30 or so 😂.

I love this book so much 😍.

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...

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...
