BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE LIFELINE

📖BOOK TITLE: THE LIFELINE 

📖AUTHOR:
TOM ELLEN 

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#114thBookOf2024
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and its characters. The character development in this book is topnotch! So let me give you a bit of backstory on our two main characters: Will and Annie. Will is the lead singer in the band group called 'The Defectors,' and one day he and his band are being interviewed by Annie.

You'll think this is the start of an amazing meet-cute, but something tragic happened after Will and Annie roamed the city of Paris for 6 hours and promised to meet back at 11 PM after a gig. With no phone numbers and means of communication, Annie is stood up and somehow stranded in Paris. She decides to forget about Will and kind of maybe hate him in the process.

The whole premise of this story was set right, and I was really happy I got to hear the story from both Will's and Annie's POV. Fate brought Will and Annie together through a phone call ❤☎️☎️. Their love story is one that will stay with me for quite some time because each has been through so much, and I am so happy they got a second chance at love. 

This is not your typical rom-com because there are a lot of heavy topics being touched on, such as infidelity, death, suicidal attempts, and toxic relationships. 

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

📖QUOTES:

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 ...
