BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN

📖 BOOK TITLE: BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN  📖AUTHOR: JESSICA KNOLL 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #ThirtysixthBookOf2024 I can't believe I've really read this book; honestly, a lot of work went into this book. I spent six days reading this book; I read, I stopped, I read some more, and I thought about what I read.  What The Defendant did to all those girls was really bad 😥 and I personally felt that the legal system downplayed the magnitude of his crimes.  What I want to know is why he committed all those crimes; what was his motive? Does he even have a motive? The Defendant is not handsome, intelligent, or any of the other adjectives that were used to describe him. He is just a common man who decided he wanted to do bad things just for his own sake. What a fool!  Pamela I can't even begin to imagine what you had to go through, from seeing him face-to-face to stepping up as a leader for the girls and The House. PAMELA YOU ARE A LEADER!! 📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ...

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: READY OR NOT

📖 BOOK TITLE: READY OR NOT  📖AUTHOR: CARA BARSTONE  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #ThirtyFifthBookOf2024 #LetterR Of My Alphabet Challenge  This is the first time I've read a story featuring a pregnant female heroine. I cannot believe it took a baby to bring Shep and Eve together. Love can arrive at any time 😍. Shep is the new standard 😍. A man who is only there to make things easier is that not what every girl needs 💕😌. TTC ladies was a theme I never expected to find in books, but books depict every real-life circumstance. Which is why I was not surprised when Eve's best friend Willa acted the way she did; she was overwhelmed with various types of emotions, which is fine. I'm really thrilled that everyone was there for Eve; it does take a community to raise a child. 📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THICK OF LOVE

📖 BOOK TITLE: THICK OF LOVE  📖AUTHOR: DANIELLE MARCUS  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #ThirtyfourthBookOf2024 What will you do when fifteen years of your life go down the drain and you have nothing to do about it? What will you do when your family can no longer stay the same way? What will you do when the lies become too much? In this story, we follow the lives of three women, Dallas, Candace, and Sasha, and their men's problems, so to speak😂. And truly, men will stain your clothes when you let them, and if you think you've seen enough of men's lies, read this book. It's mind-blowing what men will do to wreck a good thing.  Dallas gave him fifteen years of her life, gave him two kids, and he still chose to cheat and marry a younger woman. Dallas did all she could to bring her man back home, but her man decided on staying OUT!  Candace and Sasha had similar problems as well, but I felt really hurt for what Hunter did to Sasha. After reading what he ...

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE COLLECTED REGRETS OF CLOVER

📖 BOOK TITLE:  THE COLLECTED REGRETS OF CLOVER  📖AUTHOR: MIKKI BRAMMER  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #ThirtythirdBookOf2024 The main theme surrounding the story was "GRIEF" and while the story did justice to the theme, I don't think it requires 55 chapters to do so. The book was dragging, but I had to finish it.  In this story, we meet Clover, who is a death doula (I know y'all have only ever heard about birth doulas), but that is what Clover does; she helps prepare you for your death. While I didn't particularly appreciate the extended chapters, I did enjoy the plot. It is easy to use something as a mask to avoid certain social interactions, and that is what Clover used her job to do as a way to avoid interactions with living people.  I am glad she found her will to live again and found love during the process.  📖RATINGS: 3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐ 📖QUOTES: 1.Giving someone the chance to be seen at their most vulnerable is much more healing than a...

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: THE MURDER AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE

📖 BOOK TITLE: THE MURDER AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE  📖AUTHOR: KATY BRENT  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #ThirthysecondBookOf2024 Wow, deep breathes 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ I must say that it took me some time to get into the story, but once I did, I couldn't put it down!!! There are so many mysteries, deaths, and suspense. 🤯🤯.  I can't believe the murderer was someone I didn't suspect. I enjoy the storyline and the subtitles at the beginning of each chapter. 😂 #MuckyMolly I guess I'll have to look for more Katy Brent books because this one was fantastic. 📖RATINGS: 4 STARS⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📖QUOTES: □ Grief affects every atom of your being, not just your mind □ I’m a work in progress
