📖BOOK TITLE: THE LOVE OF MY AFTER LIFE

📖AUTHOR: KIRSTY GREENWOOD

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#NinetyFifthBookOf2024 #FiveBooksToHundred 🎉

I'm going to start this review with a quote: Life is not about filling time; it's about fulfilling it. I laughed, I shed some tears (even if I'm not going to admit that to anyone 🤭) and I loved it.

When I started this book, I had some mixed feelings. Halfway through, I was like, okay. Towards the end, I was laughing, cleaning my tears that I so didn't cry 😂😂, and patting myself on the back, saying that I'm so glad I finished this book.

Delphie meets her soulmate at Evermore and instantly strikes a deal with her afterlife therapist Merritt to go back to Earth to search for him (a scavenger hunt for a man😂), and then she enlists the help of her grumpy neighbor R.L. Cooper (if you've read the book, you'll realize like I did that Cooper's initials are very funny), and even though I'd already figured out what would happen in terms of love interest, I still enjoyed every bit of it, and Merritt is such a character 😂😂.

Another thing that made me really emotional was how Delphie opened up more to people and how she has her own community and love now. It is the perfect found family trope❤❤.

This book is everything it says it is. So if you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for!!

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:

♤The problem with so many people you encounter in life is that they’re being the version of themselves they think they should be rather than the person they actually are.

♤Life is too short to wait around on a good idea.

♤My past is what makes me, me. And all of it, good and bad, has led me here today.

♤If people want to go, sometimes it’s easier to just let them.

♤Being alive is about experiencing the full gamut of emotions. If you’re not feeling pushed and pulled and scared and delighted instead of just safe—then you’re not doing it right

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND BY KATHLEEN WHYMAN

📖 BOOK TITLE: HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND? 📖AUTHOR: KATHLEEN WHYMAN 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #154thBookof2024 I love this book, the humor! The drama! And the mystique surrounding Scott and his numerous problems. I can't believe Marie and his ex-wife married this guy. Scott is an a$$hole, and he deserves to be treated as such. Those poor innocent kids 😩. While humor was a big part of the novel, this book shines a light on serious topics such as infidelity, gaslighting, serial lying, and paternal irresponsibility towards children, just to say the least. I had so much fun laughing while reading this book and gained awareness of how lies and subtle gaslighting build up! What Scott did is unacceptable! And my heart goes out to all the things he did to the women he was with; what a gag🤮🤢. And yes, there is a love interest 🥰🥰🥰. 📖 RATINGS : 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

THE REUNION BY KAYLA OLSON

📖 BOOK TITLE: THE REUNION 📖AUTHOR: KAYLA OLSON 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: #155thBookof2024 I really wanted to love this; I mean, look at this stunning cover, but it is what it is, and I didn't love it 😩. It was like the author wanted to shove the love interest down my throat 😂😂. One thing this love story between Liv and Ransom did was make me cringe. I even lowkey hated the MMC's name 😩😑. The chemistry was not there, and it just felt as if Liv didn't have any other option than to date Ransom. Boy told you he wanted space; he didn't talk to you, and after so many years, he waltzed back into your life like he never left. The synopsis made it feel like Ransom was the reason Liv went into isolation 😑😑. Liv- I love your personality and your charisma, but your love story with Ransom was one I so detested 🙁. 📖 RATINGS : 2 STARS ⭐⭐ 📖🌸 READ IF YOU LIKE: 🌸 She has always loved him 🌸 Friends to strangers to lovers 🌸 Second chance romance 🌸 Hollywoo...

#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'...
