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...

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...
