Review of “Finding Dorothy” by Elizabeth Letts
I am rating this book a 4 star review. WOW! This book was great! It touched on elements of women’s right to vote to a woman’s right to not be victimized in Hollywood.

Review of “The Floating Fledmans” by Eylssa Friedland
I am giving this book a 2.5 star rating. I wanted to like this book. This was my second time picking this book up. But I just hated the characters so very much. I did not care what happened to them. I thought it would be humorous, but it was not funny at all. If […]
Review of “The Girl from Widow Hills” by Megan Miranda
I got this ARC from Edelweiss. Thanks again for the ARC! I want to give this book a 4 star rating, but I think I am going to give it 3.5 stars. This novel started out slow. I actually sat it down and picked it up later. But the ending picked up. But the last […]

Review of “Not The Girl You Marry” by Andie J. Christopher
I am giving this book a 3 star rating. This novel is reminiscent of the movie called “How To Lose a Guy In Ten Days.” Even the cover of the novel indicates this. Do not be fooled, it is a lot more raunchier than the movie. I loved the cute cover which tricked me into […]

I am giving this novel a 4 star rating. I enjoyed the novel a lot. The plot was interesting and kept me reading. I read it in a few days! The beginning started out good. But as the book progressed, it slowed down. I loved the short chapters too. I also really enjoyed the characters […]

Review of “The Mall” by Megan McCafferty
I am giving “The Mall” is 3 star rating. I found the references to everything 90s to be constant and annoying. I should have counted how many time the writer refers to a store, product, toy, TV show, movie, etc. from the 90s but that would be more than the pages of this novel. Even […]
Review “American Dirt” by Jeanine Cummins
I gave this book a 3 star rating. It is an important topic, but it just did not work for me. I am torn with this book with the rating. It really fell flat for me. One thing that I was disappointed in was not seeing life before the massacre. I really wanted to see […]
Review “Recursion” by Blake Crouch
Unpopular opinion: The plot was interested. This was not the type of genre that I typically read. I was not impressed. I liked the overall story, but I did not like the characters at all. I liked that the story made me think and had action. But overall, I was not impressed by the writing […]

Review of “All American Muslim Girl” by Nadine Jolie Courtney
4.5 rounded up. I loved this novel a lot. I learned so much about being Muslim, living in America, and just her being a normal teenager. This novel had me looking up words in the dictionary! I love it when a YA novel is like this. Where you learn so much about someone, religion, and […]

My review for “The Bromance Book Club” by Lyssa Kay Adams
I rated this book a 2.5 stars, which after reading the reviews of this book is an unpopular opinion of this novel. The story is basically about a marriage that is falling apart (due to a stupid reason IMO). Gavin (husband) begins to woo her back with a little help with a new book club. […]
