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.

THE REUNION BY KAYLA OLSON

📖 BOOK TITLE: THE REUNION 📖AUTHOR: KAYLA OLSON  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #155thBookof2024 I really wanted to love this; I mean, look at this stunning cover, but it is what it is, and I didn't love it 😩. It was like the author wanted to shove the love interest down my throat 😂😂. One thing this love story between Liv and Ransom did was make me cringe. I even lowkey hated the MMC's name 😩😑. The chemistry was not there, and it just felt as if Liv didn't have any other option than to date Ransom. Boy told you he wanted space; he didn't talk to you, and after so many years, he waltzed back into your life like he never left. The synopsis made it feel like Ransom was the reason Liv went into isolation 😑😑. Liv- I love your personality and your charisma, but your love story with Ransom was one I so detested 🙁. 📖 RATINGS : 2 STARS ⭐⭐ 📖🌸 READ IF YOU LIKE: 🌸 She has always loved him 🌸 Friends to strangers to lovers 🌸 Second chance romance  🌸 Hollywoo...

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...

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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
