BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE PEOPLE ON PLATFORM 5


๐Ÿ“–BOOK TITLE: THE PEOPLE ON PLATFORM 5

๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: CLARE POOLEY

๐Ÿ“–THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#102ndBookOf2024

You might find this book slow or difficult to get into, but please stick with it ๐Ÿฅบbecause it gets better with each page and chapter. It is very easy to make assumptions about other people's lives, and I hope after reading this book that you will give people a chance. Get to know them, and that might be the start of a beautiful and wonderful friendship.

Iona, I'm very sorry that I assumed you had a very wonderful life. You and Bea are the whole damn cake! Toby, shame on you, control freak. Ed- Iona should have let Lulu loose on you ๐Ÿ˜.

This is the perfect found family trope, and I learned a lot of lessons from this book.

๐Ÿ“–RATINGS: 4 STARS 

๐Ÿ“–QUOTES:

People who bully usually have more problems themselves than you are ever aware of.

What is the point of being alive if you go through life unnoticed.

The whole point of life is to stand out, not to fit in.

You never really know what’s going on in other people’s heads.

Love is the greatest risk of all, but a life without it is meaningless.

The only way to be guaranteed of failure is not to try.

There was no moment except this perfect one, right here and right now.

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND BY KATHLEEN WHYMAN

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HUSBAND? ๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: KATHLEEN WHYMAN  ๐Ÿ“–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 ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. 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 gag๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคข. And yes, there is a love interest ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ. ๐Ÿ“– RATINGS : 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

THE REUNION BY KAYLA OLSON

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: THE REUNION ๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: KAYLA OLSON  ๐Ÿ“–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 ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. It was like the author wanted to shove the love interest down my throat ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. One thing this love story between Liv and Ransom did was make me cringe. I even lowkey hated the MMC's name ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜‘. 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 ๐Ÿ˜‘๐Ÿ˜‘. Liv- I love your personality and your charisma, but your love story with Ransom was one I so detested ๐Ÿ™. ๐Ÿ“– RATINGS : 2 STARS ⭐⭐ ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŒธ READ IF YOU LIKE: ๐ŸŒธ She has always loved him ๐ŸŒธ Friends to strangers to lovers ๐ŸŒธ Second chance romance  ๐ŸŒธ Hollywoo...

#16 NETGALLEY READ: SOMEONE LIKE YOU

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: SOMEONE LIKE YOU    ๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: SANDY BARKER  ๐Ÿ“–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 ...
