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...

#17 NETGALLEY READ: SOME LIKE IT SCOT

📖 BOOK TITLE: SOME LIKE IT SCOT  📖AUTHOR: PEPPER BASHAM  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #135thBookOf2024 Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for granting my request to read this e-ARC and provide my honest opinions. It has been long since I've felt all the feels of a romantic swoon, and this book filled my heart with a renewed faith in love and what love can do to a person. I kept wishing for this book not to end for me to continue immersing myself in the richness of the love story between Graeme (I pronounce this as "grim" in my head; I hope that is correct 😂) and Katie. These two give a whole different meaning to love, 🥰🥰 and I love it for them. Katie, the travel writer who does not have roots in any place, meets Graeme, who has a loving family in Mull and is not thinking of going anywhere any time soon. After meeting our two MCs, I thought that maybe this was just going to be a fling, but alas, with these two, the word fling doesn'...
