    Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆ a girl with Down syndrome  ➺ animal cruelty ➺ domestic violence ➺ entrapment ➺ very descriptive violence ➺ disturbing ➺ psychopath ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ ⚠︎ If you are sensitive to animal cruelty, domestic violence or cruel and abusive behavior, do not read this. ⚠︎ I was so bored with it!  The author shows us nothing. This was just one big monologue of Grace relating one event after another. Horribly repetitive. The plot was also so obvious from the beginning. Once you discover the villain’s plan (which happens pretty early), what more is there?  Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a…

    Time Loops & Meet Cutes by Jackie Lau

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  magical realism ➺ groundhog day ➺ self discovery ➺ meet cutes ➺ insta connection ➺ women’s fiction ➺ steamy ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ What a fun concept! This book has a really strong beginning. I really enjoyed the time-loop aspect of this story combined with the romance. I also really liked that in addition to the romance, the book focuses on Noelle and Avery’s friendship. However, as the book was going I became bored with reading. The second half of the book lost my interest but I managed to finish, anyway.  Overall, I still enjoyed this one and would definitely read more by the author.  The “masterful, inspiring, and full of heart” (Ali…

    Wild Card by Elsie Silver

    Content:⋆✴︎˚。⋆  age gap ➺ ex-boyfriend’s dad ➺ small town ➺ forbidden ➺ grumpy vs sunshine ➺ meet cute ➺ curvy heroine ➺ man in uniform ➺ found family ⋆✴︎˚。⋆ I am so conflicted on how to rate this book. It started off very strong, there are good and funny moments scattered throughout the book, Clyde cracked me up many times and I did enjoy Bash and Gwen’s as a couple, they have great chemistry, but the whole ex-boyfriend’s dad trope wasn’t very well done. Elsie failed at create good angst to the story. I also found the end to be a bit cheesy, honestly, and the book a bit longer than…
