BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: VALLEY VERIFIED


📖BOOK TITLE: VALLEY VERIFIED 

📖AUTHOR: KYLA ZHAO 

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#LetterV Of My Alphabet Challenge #SeventeethBookOf2024 

The cover of this book is so beautiful😍😍. Fashion meets Tech in this inspiring novel. Zoe decided to leave her job in fashion writing behind and take up a new one in marketing a fashion app,where she has no experience at all. She decides she is going to put her all into it and make the app a success. 

Zoe begins to have imposter syndrome, struggling to decide whether she made the right decision by leaving her whole life behind just to take up this new job. I loved Zoe and her whole character, the way she brings out the best in people, and how her charisma is infectious (if I can use that word 😂).

I liked Bill at first, but it turns out he was a shitty person.

All in all, the book is nice—the kind of book you read to have butterflies in your stomach and the kind of book to pursue dreams.

Here's to everyone pursuing dreams: YOUR DREAMS ARE VALID.

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:

A two-thousand-dollar Dior dress can look frumpy if not styled right, but a cheap blazer dug out from a thrift shop bin can look like a million bucks if you know how to accessorize it.

Well, I’ve always believed dressing up isn’t about turning someone into a different person, but bringing out the best person they can be.

Things that are worth doing are always hard.

Fashion is all about making people buy into an illusion.

Fashion was an industry built on who you knew and what you knew.

Don’t stop giving yourself the chance to try and fail, to learn and grow. It’s okay to not have your shit together—no one does, no matter how much they look like they do on the surface.

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...

#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 ...
