I always enjoyed her books and this one didn't disappoint. It was a page turner about a natural resource police office gets gunned down at a robbery in progress when she stops in a convenience store.

Possibly the most lowkey underrated of the McClain series—this one is quiet strength personified. The love story is sweet but still packs plenty of heat. If you like your romance with emotional maturity, steady affection, and subtle intensity, this one will hit the spot.

Another Day

5 stars. This book (especially at the end) broke me. The tone, mood and writing is amazing and kept me drawn in. I think what I like most about the book is the fact that I fell in love with the concept of love. That’s the whole premise behind this novel: realizing the one who you’ve loved for years never really cared, or if they did, it felt that you had to prove you deserved love an attention; the one who actually loves you who hops from different bodies everyday (the sci-fi aspect) though you know you can’t have them; and loving yourself and making your own choices, NOT based on either party. I had moments where I said to myself “man, Rhiannon sucks and I hate her.” Though yes, she was annoying, I felt bad for her being placed in the relationship tug-o-war between Justin and A. In my opinion I feel that this is a great 2000s YA novel and more people should read it. Whether you start with Another Day or Everyday (the first installment) the book is still memorable and nostalgic in a sense. (But when I tell you, you are going to feel that ending HARD. My heart started beating so fast at the last two chapters

Assist

Sexy, mature, and surprisingly vulnerable—Assist is more than a sports romance. It’s about love that meets you where you are and pushes you to be better. The chemistry is off the charts, but so is the heart.

The Secret Life Of Bees

Heartwarming and enchanting novel that captivated me with its rich characters and poignant exploration of found family, set against the backdrop of 1960s South Carolina. Sue Monk Kidd's lyrical prose and the powerful bonds formed between Lily and the Boatwright sisters made this an unforgettable read that left me feeling both moved and uplifted.

Let Me Hold You

This one is passionate, complicated, and messy in the best way. There’s a lot of heat, but it also unpacks real stuff—fatherhood, identity, emotional growth. You’ll want to yell at the characters and root for them at the same time. A spicy, grown-folk rollercoaster you’ll be glad you rode.

The Twenty-One

book cover


I read this YA nonfiction book as part of a prompt for Book Riot's Read Harder challenge. I thought the book was well-written and approachable, and I learned some interesting things. But I ultimately decided to give it only 2 stars. I would recommend this book to others, but I wasn't as engaged as I would have hoped.
