Strictly Professional
by Christina Jones

book cover


Workplace romance with all the heat and complications you want—Strictly Professional serves up chemistry that’s off the charts and challenges that keep you invested. It’s smart, spicy, and gives that slow-build satisfaction that stays with you long after the last track.

It Ends With Us

I love this book. It gives courage to DV victims and gives them a powerful reason to leave.

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder

book cover


4 stars This book is one of the reasons I love thrillers. This book tugged at my heart when need be, it kept me at the edge of my seat, my nerves were screaming and I even felt moved to tears. I love the idea and the usage of this being a story with the Capstone report, police reports, recordings and other suspect murder boards. Also, the Ravi and Pippa part? I loved it. I also really loved that the romance wasn’t the forefront or main sub-genere in this book until wayyy at the end. It was mostly on finding the killer with subtle-but cute-moments between the two. I’ll be looking forward to reading the next book!

This Could Be Us
by Kennedy Ryan

book cover


I loved this read. This book had me hooked from the first chapter. I can truly say that Kennedy Ryan has provided something so special and beautiful for women of color through this book and has further opened the door for the inclusion of neurodiverse/autistic characters. This story made me laugh, cry(multiple times), feel seen, understood and as a hopeless romantic, has opened my mind to being content with loving myself wholly without relying on love from others. I would love to see this story turned into a movie, it is amazing!

How To Read Literature Like A Professor 3e

book cover


Ok. I had to read this book for the AP literature summer assignment so I didn’t choose to read it although I saw it a few times and and thought it seemed interesting. This book bored me many times but I feel that is because I am not the targeted audience. Yes, it was assigned but I feel like this book would be better for a college student majoring in literature or something of that sort. I learned a lot of things from this book so I am happy I read it but I found it very long for the information I was given. Maybe I will read it again when I am in college.

The Frozen River
by Ariel Lawhon

book cover


This book was based on the journals of a real midwife from the 1700s named Martha Ballard. However, since much isn’t written about her life, the story is almost entirely fictional. I like the time period, the early days of the United States, and I liked the mystery—who killed the man in the frozen river? But I felt it went off on unnecessary tangents as well and it could have been much shorter than it was. I liked it enough, but will probably soon forget I ever read it.

Three Sisters

Another fascinating story of survival during the Holocaust and the family's resettlement in Isreal. Same author of the more well-known "Tatooist of Auschwitz" and MY favorite 'Cilka's journey" which seems to be less known.

The Wife Upstairs
by Rachel Hawkins

book cover


I don't normally read lighthearted, true crime type thrillers, but this book was exactly the fodder I needed to get me engrossed in a story during a time of loss. Many of the criticisms I read in other reviews talked about how the story was predictable, but this is what I liked about it. I don't do well with suspense, so reading a Jane Eyre reimagination (one of my favorite books) was good, predictable comfort reading.

Never Lie

Always tricky - keeps you guessing.

Mockingjay
by Suzanne Collins

book cover


I can’t even choose which Hunger Games book is my favourite: all had heart, fast-paced action (as well as a call to action), and relevant scenes and topics that are taking place as we speak. Mockingjay though, I got through the quickest and felt unease with each twist and event (for example Peeta hijacked to kill Katniss, or at the end with President Coin.) I cannot wait to read “A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” and “Sunrise on the Reaping.”
