Review | Regretting You by Colleen Hoover | Mohini Jugran

Image
****Four Unregretful Stars**** Disclaimer : Received an ARC from Montlake Romance and Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. It was a first mother/daughter book I read which had alternating POVs and I was a bit worried that it would somehow set me off considering the blurp itself said, "Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike." What started out as a normal story of a family somehow had me connecting more with Morgan than her daughter even though I'm personally closer in age to Clara. Colleen gave kinda easy clues as to what would happen as the plot unfolded page by page but dayummmmm, it was gripping and gut-wrenching with the overload of emotions just like any other CoHo book I've read so far. Morgan and Clara had the very relateable mother-daughter issues of this age and I couldn't help but see things from a parents' POV which was an eye opening experience for me. To be hones

Title: I Am Home To Butterflies Original Rating: Three Stars Genre: Poetry(Romance) Author: J. Alchem "Love and pain. You don't find them. They find you. And when they do there is no escape." This engaging poetry collection by J. Alchem is one of kind. It undoubtedly has the potential to not just grab your attention but also to hold it. And damn, it's soooo verrryyyy relatable. Being a teenager myself, and having gotten my heart broken a few number of times, it was just something I needed to feel not just connection and kinship, but also, liberation of sorts. J. Alchem is an avid reader and a critically acclaimed author. He is also the winner of several awards and accolades. His awards include Amazon Pen to Publish 2017 and The Best Author of the Year 2017-18. He is also the winner of Superhero Storyteller Award in the year 2015. Considering all this, it's no big surprise that he has the type of writing style that gets anyone hooked. "

Review|Ten by Gretchen McNeil

Title: Ten Original Rating: Three and A Half Stars Genre: Suspense Thriller  Author: Gretchen McNeil  "Not everything needs to be said." A story about 10 high school kids who go to Henry Islands for a weekend to have the time of their lives..  Little did they know they would never come back..  I liked the writing style of the author. I could pretty much guess the plot still I felt excited enough to keep reading. "It wasn’t raining nearly as hard as it had been thirty minutes ago, and the wind was no longer attempting to wipe the island clean of all its inhabitants, flora and fauna alike. But Meg still felt as if she were battling the elements as she slowly climbed back up the wooden walkways toward White Rock House.." Ten by Gretchen McNeil was like reading And Then There Were None until the very last chapter the only difference being a Young Adult Suspense Thriller about 10 highschool kids.. Somewhat predictable still I almost go

Review | Two Can Keep A Secret by Karen M. McManus

Title: Two Can Keep A Secret Original Rating: Four Stars Genre: Crime Suspense Author: Karen M. McManus An engrossing adventure of sorts where you can't flip the pages fast enough and don't even suspect for a second who it actually was till the last chapter. One of my favorite genre Suspence Thrillers have something more than just good entertainment to offer. And I loved the fact this one kept me guessing. The female protagonist, Ellery Crocoran, is a huge fan of crime suspenses who has done her own research on the genre because her aunt, Sarah disappeared more than 20 years back.. It doesn't help the fact that Sarah was, her mother Sadie's, twin sister. Ellery being a twin herself can't get over the fact that how can one not talk about the disappearance of her own sister. She wants to know the secrets her mother is hiding. So when she comes to live with her Nana in the senior year of high school, she wants to find out the secrets of Echo Ridge, a sm

Review|Fool Me Once by Nicole Williams

Image
Title: Fool Me Once Original Rating: Four Stars Genre: Contemporary  Romance Author: Nicole Williams My second read by Nicole Williams and woosh, was it good. After the few angsty reads I've had these past days, I wanted something lovey-dovey minus all the drama and Fool Me Once was all that and more. It starts with Emma who meets Chase Lawson, her ex and a famous singer in her 10 year high school reunion. Chase left her all those years ago, chose his career and fame over her and hasn't looked back once in these past years. Then shows up at their high school reunion with an offer she can’t turn down. Six months. Seven figures. Yes, a Million Dollars and he gets a chance to clean up his reputation, while she gets the means to restore the old family farmhouse. It’s only for show—hold hands in public, kiss for the cameras—but boundaries blur behind closed doors. A tender love story for the ones who don't love extra drama just for the sake of it with a
