BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE NIGERWIFE

📖BOOK TITLE: THE NIGERWIFE

📖AUTHOR:VANESSA WALTERS

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#FortyninthBookOf2024

I wouldn't categorize this book as a thriller. Having read the blurb, I was very excited to start the book, but it is more of a women's fiction than a thriller.

I had a lot of hopes for this book; the cover gave everything it should, and the blurb got me drawn into the story. I wanted to know Nicole's story!!!

The beginning started great, the middle was kind of lacking, and the end got me thinking about why I read the book at all. Personally, I felt Nicole's story needed a lot more work; I couldn't quite understand her. I loved the whole premise—getting to know her beyond being an Oruwari wife and mother.

When she went missing, in my mind, I was like, This story just got started, but even that was half baked. The ending brought up so many questions that I couldn't even explain myself.

📖RATINGS: 2 STARS ⭐⭐

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...
