BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS


📖BOOK TITLE: FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

📖AUTHOR: SHANI AKILAH 

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  
#NinetySixthBookOf2024 #4BooksToHundred🎉
Short stories often leave me with mixed feelings; most of the stories have more depth than others, and that, to me, is the most interesting part because you get to use your imagination to complete the story! These short story collections take us through the lives of interconnected people and maybe friends. And obviously, I have some favorites, which are:

The Commute: This would make such an interesting rom-com. Find the guy with your favorite book, but you don't know anything about him. Cute!🥰

Good Goodbye: I kind of feel sad for Jon and Gabby; their love would have had potential if one of them let go of their ego.

Ghana in December: The thing with grief is that it never fully disappears; you live with it your entire life.

Love in Crisis: I genuinely wanted to see how this ended. What did Michael say to Dami when he called her? 😫

A Short Trip to Tesco: that small act of kindness that you consider prevalent but to the other person means everything

I am so excited to see what Shani's next book will be😊.

📖RATINGS: 3 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...

#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 ...
