#4 BOOKSIRENS READ: PARALLEL


📖BOOK TITLE: PARALLEL 

📖AUTHOR: HOPE BOLINGER 

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#ThirtyfirsthBookOf2024 #Arc

I want to thank the publisher, author, and booksirens for granting my request to read this book for free in exchange for my honest opinions.

When I read the synopsis of the book, I immediately wanted to read this book because all the craze about multiverses just hit me since Dark Matter and Parallel left me craving more books with similar themes. So, cheers to reading more books about multiverses 🍻🥂!

Jonas and Sonja's relationship was so cute, and I totally get the feeling when you think you've met the 'One', that one person that totally gets you, that person that loves your quirks, that one person that just loves you 😍. I love love 💕, I am such a hopeless romantic, but I enjoyed their relationship, and particularly how they were so sure that they wanted to make their relationship long-term (marriage) despite their young age! 

But that's the problem: how do you do long term with a person who doesn't share the same universe with you? 😳So the solution to this problem is:

1. Think about how funny it is that in the whole of your city, you couldn't find a person to love, but you had to love a person from an entire different universe 😂.
2. Gather your best friends and tell them about your theory, guessing they didn't take it well.
3. Watch enough conspiracy theories.
4. Tell your best friends to open a portal to another universe to see your boyfriend.

Anyway, that is about that; the important thing is that you broke space and time to see your boyfriend. Initially, I found it cute that Sonja and Jonas had the same letters, but the whole characters had the same arrangement: Tresa and Aster , Roan and Nora. 

 I found SJ's parents very very toxic and it is really weird, and about 5 chapters or so into the ending, I felt like I was missing something.

Above all, I love the book, and I will be on the lookout for more of Hope Bolinger's work😍😍.

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:
Relationships require sacrifice, but I’d like to believe it’s both people compromising. Both people being willing to give up something for each other.

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...
