BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: BETWEEN FRIENDS & LOVERS


📖BOOK TITLE: BETWEEN FRIENDS & LOVERS 

📖AUTHOR: SHIRLENE OBUOBI 

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#NinetyFirstBookOf2024
For the “strong” girls. For the girls who seem to have it all together even when they’re falling apart. For the Megan Thee Stallions of the world, who everyone knows how to consume but no one knows how to protect. You deserve to be cherished too. This dedication has my heart ❤.

This is not an ordinary love story—there were some tough choices and a tough backstory, and don't you just love Shirlene's writing style? It is endearing how she pulls you into the story right from the beginning.

I'm not really a big fan of opposite-sex friendship, but Ezra and Jo are going to be friends for a long time; indeed, friends are your found family. How Ezra's family, particularly his mom, brought Jo in was so kind, even if the public spinned the story around later.

Jo's estranged relationship with her mom I didn't quite connect with it. Jo's backstory was indeed sad, but I am so happy she made something out of herself (the only person you can really count on is yourself): she became a doctor, she is a medical influencer, she got friends, and now she found a lover ❤😍.

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:
Social media is a disguise. It is the face people chose to show the world, not the one they lived in all day.

Even if you can’t do anything for me ever again. Even if I take care of you like this forever. I’ll be happy to just be yours.

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 ...
