BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: HATE FOLLOW


๐Ÿ“–BOOK TITLE: HATE FOLLOW 

๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: ERIN QUINN-KONG

๐Ÿ“–THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 
#140thBookOf2024
No doubt this book brought about some important points that call for discussion, but personally, I felt there was a lot going on, from some form of dependency on alcohol to coping with the loss of a loved one, a new boyfriend, a cancer diagnosis, bullying, bribery, etc.

Where do we draw the line between what to post as parents and what not to post? No offense, but all the things Whitney did for her socials, I did not see one single thing wrong with it, and if that was not enough, Mia's best friend family suggested seeing a lawyer, and they have never seen Whitney's account. I found it really creepy that the Garcias were too accepting of the whole situation.

Yeah, Whitney had to do what she had to do; she gave her family a stable income and used writing as therapy. A mother and her daughter who have not properly moved on from their husband and father's death—Whitney found a way to cope with her grief by sharing tidbits of her life on her socials. Mia feels betrayed that her mother has moved on and has a new boyfriend, and she starts to feel bitter, threatening her mother. Yes, it is okay for Mia to have a right to privacy, but isn't it going to far suing your mom and living in some other place where your siblings, whom you claim to love, were not with you for some weeks?

Like I said earlier, a lot of things were going on in this book that the focus kept shifting from Whitney and Mia to other people who I think are not relevant to the story. There was supposed to be a court case, but that also ended so abruptly that I thought that I missed a chapter or two. The ending felt so inconclusive, but as I said at the beginning, this novel poses a lot of important issues for discussion.

๐Ÿ“–RATINGS: 3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐

  1. 140th read wow!
    I think with sharing tidbits of your children lives is okay because they do have a right of privacy but not to the extent of suing your own mother ๐Ÿ˜’

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...

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW

๐Ÿ“– BOOK TITLE: REMEMBER ME TOMORROW  ๐Ÿ“–AUTHOR: FARAH HERON ๐Ÿ“–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. ๐Ÿ“–RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ๐Ÿ“–QUOTES: ♤ Time isn’t linear. There are an infin...
