items A list of every book I’ve finished since Jan 4, 2024. I personally like to read digital first before getting physical unless I already have a physical copy via gift or find. I've met people who only buy physical and keep whether they liked it or not. To each their own. The stars are my personal opinion,...

Books that I would buy physical copies of/read again
"Sometimes reality comes crashing down on you. Other times reality simply waits, patiently, for you to run out of the energy it takes to deny it"It was beautifully written and had me in tears by the end. There were so many quotes that I saved from th...
"It's not fun being loved for something you didn't do" referencing people who love you for your looks regardless of any intelligence or talent present, as if that is all there is to you.
“No one is just a victim or a victor. Everyone is somewhere in between. People who go around casting themselves as one or the other are not only kidding themselves, but they’re also painfully unoriginal.” 🔥

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Paperback
Ho. Ly. S**t!! The plot twist??? I finished the book with my mouth like this the whole time: 😮 (not exaggerating) This is top 3 books I recommend to people when they want to get back into it even though it's a bit of a slow read to start.
The Silent Patient - Michaelides, Alex: Books
I need shorts/films/shows of the twisted tales because they are just as 🔥 as the original. It tapped into my imagination in a way I hadn’t done in a long time. Loved it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Almost There: A Twisted Tale - Rochon
When I was finishing this book, I stayed up until about 1:30 AM. I had about 200 pages left and I NEEDED to finish it. I love the fact that it's written from a “child's” point of view without necessarily reading as a children's book.
Monday's Not Coming: Tiffany D. Jackson
Maaaaaaannnnnnnn. This book got 1,000 stars out of me. The image below is the review I was originally leaving at the time of reading it right before I got to the last chapter.. really the last page. The show did this book absolute justice. I remember...
Behind Her Eyes: Sarah Pinborough
Now I have been a fan since the tiktok series and I had to get my hands on this book. I've seen every single episode. 1,000 ⭐️’s but also ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.8 cause it took them way too long to f**k and I hate the word ‘c**k*. Can’t wait for book 2.
For Whom the Belle Tolls (Hell's Belles, #1) by Jaysea Lynn
This book was adorable. I think I was cheesing while reading most of this book. I wonder if this is a movie or show becasue I would binge it.
Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert
4 stars
This one was much better than the first (Money Hungry) and also something I probably would have loved and gave 5 stars as a teen/pre-teen but I will see the context from the first book helps with reading this one. Both were quick reads.
Begging for Change: Sharon G Flake
It was a quick read even though it was a slo start for me but once I hit a certain point, I could not put it down. The dialect was interesting, a little hard to read but not because I couldn't understand it but because it was different reading it tha...
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
I stole this book from my mom while she was in the middle of reading it lol. She had a physical copy she was reading with her book club and so one day while it was sitting in her room, I picked it up and started reading it and I couldn't put it down....
A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by Tia Williams
This book tricked me in the best and worst ways. Now if you've read any of my other reviews you would know how I feel about this particular author but this was the second book I had read of hers before it all went downhill. It almost gave slow read b...
Verity: Colleen Hoover
Not sure how I feel about timepiece fiction/historical fantasy cause I almost didn’t make it in the beginning but it actually wasn’t that bad. I rocked with the ending. It had me cheesing a little bit.
The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope
It wasn’t too bad for real. It was an interesting concept, but I feel like he got a little lazy with the writing towards the end. It wasn't that it was easily predictable but you could definitely clock some things as you read. The chapter 77 thing wa...
The Chain by Adrian McKinty
IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW! My aunty and ma put me on to this series and boiiiiiiiiii lemme tell you. I wish they had physical copies. I never thought I’d be into no ghetto sh*t like this but I’m locked in. I didn't even let all the errors stop me from fin...
Capone (Season one: Delgato Family Book 1) eBook
I tried to read myself to sleep, but yall know how finale books go, I ended up finishing it. I could not put it down. I'm glad some of the language got fixed. The grammar/plot mistakes were still egregious but Ima stick beside her for now
Capone III: Delgato Family Book 3 eBook
3 stars
Now I read this book because I saw a clip of the film on TikTok. When it comes to films/books, I prefer to read first (if I'm aware there is a book) then watch second and it has to be in order (if a series) It was cute and predictable.
Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella
This was a really quick read. As a child it would have been 4 stars or more based on how it was written and the different twists but as an adult, you kind of read it with more life experience and don't get too excited with different parts. I'm sure s...
Money Hungry by Sharon G. Flake
Now yall know I wouldn't lie to yall.. The first page of this book almost made me put it back and never open it again. The way it read, I can't really explain, but it made me realize why people hate Hoover but they redeemed themselves. The twists wer...
Never Never (Never Never, #1) by Colleen Hoover & Tarryn Fisher
Def a slow read (to me) but to be fair, I had recently experienced books with wild a** twists so this seemed a little milder in comparison but still not bad. Have not seen the film yet
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
That ending almost pissed me off. Like be so for real. Classic something bad has to happen for the “happy” ending. It was a cute book up until that point, I guess. Kind of a quick read.
Rosewater by Liv Little
I found this book (along with the second one) in a free library outside of as movie theatre in my hometown. I had read Verity and I had heard the hype around this series so thought I got lucky finding both of them. After reading???? Now I see why a l...
It Ends with Us: A Novel: Hoover, Colleen
Now I’m trying not to do the thing where I’m turned off by her choice of language regarding certain topics for shock/twists. The grammar/spelling is already bad enough. I’m still locked in tho(obviously) it took me only 2 days to finish it, I couldn'...
Capone II: Delgato Family Book 2 eBook
2 stars
This was a hate read. I had the physical copy and said might as well.. I feel like she copy and pasted the first book. I don't know why she gave in to booktok pressuring her about making another one. She could have kept it. If there's a Colleen Hoove...
It Starts with Us: A Novel by Colleen Hoover
