BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN:THE MARRIAGE CLASS

📖BOOK TITLE: THE MARRIAGE CLASS

📖AUTHOR: ADESUWA O'MAN NWOKEDI

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#FourtyFourthBookOf2024

I don't know why the topic of marriage is so intriguing that I'll always read or talk about it. My Facebook feed is filled with topics about marriages, so when I saw this book, I knew right there that I'll read it.

So this book is about ten different couples with different love dynamics, stories, and personalities, all attending a wedding class in Lagos State, Nigeria. We see how different decisions affect and influence their views about each other.

Now I'll be starting with Abi&Raymond- my least favorite couple out of the ten, but anyway, Abi doesn't like the easy love Raymond shows her, so we see how she self-sabotages her new-found love with her ex. It is very funny how she sees all the red flags in her ex, and subconsciously she wants him back because, according to her, "Raymond love is too easy."

Ngozi&Zulu- the Igbo love duo, 😂, Ngozi never saw herself loving an uncouth man, so to speak, but what can she do when she is losing numbers "age wise"? But eventually, love prevailed 😌. I was so happy for them 💕.

Ewa&Sanya- my favorites out of the ten, We see Ewa grow from the materialistic lady she was to someone who was willing to improve herself. She listened and headed to the advice of her man, if you no love who fit pay 14million naira debt who Ewa wan love nah😂😂

Bianca&Prince- just like Abi I thought they wouldn't make it because it was just too much. How did they do it? Long distance for almost 3 years or so. This can only happen when there is communication, truth, and mutual love between two people who have determined that they will do everything possible to make their relationship work.

April&Boma- these two, oh my God 😫😫😫😫

Kris&Bola- I had this thought that why will Bola date someone twice his age, but I guess love knows no bounds. When you know, you know.

Chioma&A.K- the beauty and the beast situation 😂😂😂 and no it is not the man that is the beast 😐😐 throughout the book I tried to imagine what the beast 😐looks like but I just can't 😂😂😂😂 chai A.K got his work cut out for him geezzzz

Ivie&Eric- a reverse of Kris and Bola situation 😐

Nkoyo&Nosa- a child can't bring people who are not in love together; it is better to co-parent.

Omasan&Itse—these two i felt for Omasan particularly nineteen years just thrown away like that😐😐

I wish some of the couples stories had run off particularly itse & omasan 😫

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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
