I loved this one so much! Set in Georgia in the 1960‘s, Doris is a very religious teen who needs to have an abortion and turns to her favorite teacher for help. The duo embark on a weekend trip to Atlanta for the procedure, which gets delayed. While waiting, Doris meets a cast of characters who completely change her worldview and broaden her life choices.

Definitely a favorite read this year!

I loved the premise of this book and it started out like a very promising read. I loved how the author used a lot of stereotypes to portray racism and privilege. It started going down for me at around 60%, I just felt like it started to become predictable and the ending felt very flat. I wished the author had taken a few more risks with this one.

Set in Atlanta in the 90's, Daniel and Jacob are employed by a developer who is trying to get government approval for new housing developments in the city in anticipation of the upcoming Olympics. These projects would mean displacement for the families in the area, who are mostly Black. In the story, we follow our protagonists as they navigate their values, ambitions and accepting who they are when it comes to their sexuality.

Out tomorrow! 4⭐️

3.5 ⭐️This started off with a bang, but as the story went on I just kept constantly checking how much more I had to go. It just felt too long.

I did like the autism representation, and that Soledad was biracial, but I felt that the author kept on hammering on the same things and it became repetitive.

This was OK overall, but I didn't love it as much as the first one in the series.

Ready for book 3!

There was a point while reading this novel where I almost gave up on it because I felt I was not getting it. But, I kept reading and it turned into one of the most beautiful examples of how the use of language can just turn your emotions into a rollercoaster.

A story about women rebelling about the cards dealt to them. These stories are not for the faint of heart, but you will not be able to look away.

We follow Justine, Eskedare, Flora, Zeinah and Dounia, who are very different from each other, but their lives get intertwined as they navigate life in the Gulf.

If you love stories about the power of the human spirit, and especially the resilience of women, read this!

This was such a great book, I didn‘t want it to end! Yasmen and Josiah are possibly my fave fictional couple right now.

Loved Kennedy Ryan‘s approach to second-chance romance, and especially loved how mental health and therapy were such a central part of the story.

Can‘t wait to read the next book on the series!

It pains me to do this because I love Sandie Jones. But, this was such a terrible book for me! There were a lot of unnecessary twists and it just made the story drag and be boring.

I should‘ve DNF‘d this, but I was holding on to the hope that this story was going to redeem itself somehow. I also held on because the premise of the story was what initially drew me to it.

Better luck next time, I guess!

When John Boyne takes you for a ride, buckle up! I am glad I was able to read all four novellas in one go, as it made the reading experience better for me.

Be ready, you will not feel joy reading this, but the stories are told in such a way that it will be hard to put down (I did have to take a break between Fire and Air to catch my breath, though).

Be ready to question your biases!

In this installment a pair of famous footballers are on trial for rape. We follow our MC, Evan, as he takes stock of his life and how he ended up in this situation.

A woman arrives on an island trying to escape from her past and lead a solitary life. She changes her name and cuts off her hair, but scandals have a way to seep back into life.
