BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: OPPOSITE OF ALWAYS


📖BOOK TITLE: OPPOSITE OF ALWAYS 

📖AUTHOR: JUSTIN A. REYNOLDS 

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#SeventySixthBookOf2024

You know that saying “Time is undefeated”?This is a story about the time that Time lost.

I loved the whole premise of this book. Jake is an awesome friend, a great son, and an amazing boyfriend, but it all goes south when he finds out that his stunning girlfriend Kate has sickle cell anemia. When he gets the news that Kate is dead, it leads him into a time loop, but to save whom?

How I wish I got to know Kate some more so I can really understand the particular reason why Jack was star struck, or, in my own words, 'obsessed' with her, but nothing was said about her or even his supposed best friend Jillian.

Another thing that bothered me was the way the Edwards were portrayed; they appeared very relaxed about their daughter's condition, to the extent that they let an eighteen-year-old run the show for them!

I was even more confused at the end of the book, but I'm glad Jack did everything he could to save the people he cared about. 

📖RATINGS: 3 STARS⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:

Don’t be afraid. Take chances. And when those don’t work out, take more.

It’s crazy how all the things you think you know, the things you think are certain, turn out to be not so much.

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...

FROM ONE TO FIVE

Another Saturday, another bookish rant😂😊. Welcome to another chapter of weekly special book lovers 📚😍. The star rating system: a simple way to sum up our thoughts on a book, or an outdated habit that's due for a change? The other day I saw a post on Instagram about whether book reviewers still made use of "stars" when reviewing books, and I was compelled to make this a topic on my book segment! So the question is, 'Do reviewers and generally book lovers still make use of stars when reviewing books?' As a book reviewer myself, I love making use of stars, and I will never stop making use of them except a better system comes up for scaling books 😂. It is also true that I correct my ratings accordingly. What do I mean by this? This is what I mean: when rating books, I go by my mood and excitement after completion of the book, and I immediately rate books. I may look back on my emotions after reading a particular book and correct my ratings. I recently...
