BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: COUNTERFEIT

📖BOOK TITLE: COUNTERFEIT

📖AUTHOR: KIRSTIN CHEN

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#FourtysixthBookOf2024

I got into "Counterfeit" because of its vibrant cover. I didn't even read the blurb😂 but unfortunately, I didn't quite connect to the story, perhaps because of my novelty to the luxury bag industry. Gosh, I don't even know what a Birkin looks like 🤧. Forgive my novelty, but it is what it is.

So my novelty toward luxury bag brands affected my view of this book. I couldn't understand the concept behind the counterfeit luxury bag industry. I also didn't understand why Ava felt the need to join Winnie in her scheme. She obviously has a husband she loves (I think), a child she adores, but whines a lot (and when I mean a lot,I mean a lot).

Just my theory here: "People who have done everything by the rule tend to want to deviate a bit to see how things work out."

📖RATINGS: 2 STARS ⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:

○There is no shame in good, honest work.

○To share one’s secrets is to force others to bear your burden; to stay silent is to spare them.

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 ...
