We can’t just fall apart like that. The world does not stop just so you can grieve. Life goes on. If you feel like you can’t go on with your life seek for a professional help.  “Just remember.

Evelyn Hugo vibes ٭⊹•꧂ This was a book I was ridiculously excited to read, and I am truly heartbroken that I had to call time of death at 60% through of the audiobook. I kept zoning out, nothing in this story could hold my attention the more I tried. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I prefer reading something with a bit more romance or thrill to make it harder to put down. This really had neither. Everything was just SO bland. Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of a woman…

So deeply emotional and portrays trauma in such a real way that was sometimes exhausting. Don’t get me wrong, this book is beautifully written, but definitely not a RomCom.

I just don’t get the feels I like to feel when reading 3rd person romance books. Also, there is only one narrator for both characters povs —a male narrator, it was confusing. I was with the audiobook and it was hard to follow. I just didn’t know who was speaking at the time or whose thoughts were those. At some point I just stopped trying. I want to enjoy my time and not suffer. Next!  ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 5 in the Rock Bottom Love Series. Each book…

Things happened very fast between the main characters, we didn’t have time to enjoy them falling in love. The spicy scenes could have used a bit more heat too and there was just room many for my liking. And, although, I liked how the author portrayed Bianca’s character, her backstory felt underdeveloped. However, the book was still an addictive read to me. ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the Perfectly Imperfect Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and…

I’m doing my best at not being so judgmental when reviewing this. So bear with me! 😅 If life taught me a lesson is that you can’t judge others when you’ve never been in their shoes. Also, be careful of throwing stones, we all live in a glass house too. We are all human beings after all. We make mistakes, we make poor decisions, we make others suffer. The bottom line is, did you learn…
