⭐️5/5⭐️ Why I recommend this book Binding 13 is an emotional, slow-burn romance that completely broke my heart—in the best way. This book goes far beyond a love story. It explores childhood trauma, domestic violence, addiction, and the long road t...

⭐️5/5⭐️ This book is the sequel to Binding 13, and I recommend it just as much as the first one. It has a happy ending and is full of very wise lessons to learn.

⭐️5/5⭐️ 📖 The Last Letter completely drew me in from the very first page. It’s emotional, heart-wrenching, and beautifully written. Even though I haven’t finished it yet, I can already tell this story will stay with me long after the last page. Th...

⭐️2/5⭐️ At first, I was like, what is this book? It’s so weird—what am I even reading? I just wanted to finish it and honestly regretted starting it. But then, halfway through, I started to enjoy it. It’s definitely a unique book, but that’s normal—...

⭐️5/5⭐️ 📖 I just finished The Seven Year Slip! Honestly, it totally deserves the hype. It’s a romance novel, but at the same time it feels different and original. It’s not only about love — it also touches on grief, self-growth, and career ambition...

⭐️3/5⭐️ These are basic romance stories that mostly revolve around sex, with a lot of very detailed scenes. They follow the typical trope: a rich, cold, emotionally distant guy who eventually becomes attached to the girl, etc. There’s not much added...

⭐️3/5⭐️ This book really touched me because it deals with the struggles of a woman trying to conceive and how devastating it can be when having children has always been her dream. It also shows how this challenge can strain a marriage, even one full...

⭐️4/5⭐️ I enjoyed this book! Usually, Freida McFadden’s books are easy to read, and I can often anticipate the plot twists—but I didn’t see this one coming. There’s just one detail at the end that I couldn’t quite make sense of. It’s about the teac...

⭐️ 5/5 ⭐️ This was the first book I read by Freida, and I really liked it. It was easy to read, and I finished it quickly. I didn’t see the plot twist coming, but now I find it hard not to anticipate twists in her books because she often uses the sa...

⭐️5/5⭐️ J’ai découvert ce livre, et surtout cette auteure, et depuis j’ai lu tous ses livres (ce n’est pas une quantité énorme non plus). Elle est tout simplement incroyable : ses histoires se lisent rapidement tout en laissant une forte impression....

Basma Jyad profile picture
⭐️5/5⭐️ Ce livre est la suite de La Tresse. J’ai beaucoup apprécié ce que la femme a fait pour la petite et la manière dont elle s’est battue pour elle, mais pas seulement ! J’admire aussi le changement qu’elle a provoqué pour protéger les femmes et...

Historical drama

⭐️5/5⭐️ This book is exceptional. It tells the story of an actress’s seven husbands, but it’s incredibly captivating and emotional. You can’t imagine the twists in the story or the gentleness of this woman.

⭐️5/5⭐️ Ce livre est lent, mais je ne me suis pas ennuyée une seule seconde. Il regorge de leçons de vie et explore des thèmes profonds comme l’amour, la patience, le sacrifice et la souffrance. Deux personnes, chacune marquée par ses propres blessu...
