That's What Frenemies Are For

I was given a copy of That's What Frenemies are For by NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.  The book was published by Random House on July 30, 2019, written by Sophie Littlefield and Lauren Gershell.
43152815

Short plot synopsis-Julia tries to have it all and rule her rich mom circle by finding the "next big thing," which just happens to be the fitness center called Flame.  This leads to her trying to do a Mean Girls makeover on Tatum, a young and dumb instructor.  Naturally, the plan backfires.

Look.  The book isn't terrible...but it isn't the best thing ever written.  The whole time I was reading it I kept thinking that this plot has been done before, and better at that.  In a world where Mean Girls AND Heathers exist, this book isn't really anything special.  Julia is a rich snob.  She has everything, but she's still so miserable.  OMG, CRY ME A RIVER.  When it came to Tatum, I knew exactly what type of girl she would end up being.

I don't know.  It was a nice enough book.  If you're looking for something of no substance to kill time, this is a good one.  I've just read too many really good books this year to not be a little disappointed by it.

    In past years, we replica watches uk all have seen the emergence of a digital world becoming stronger and stronger. Today, this world is our sole universe, for some weeks or months, at least! The fake rolex rules have changed so quickly that it was a daily interrogation about what to do best…

Heartless by Elsie Silver

Elsie Silver has once again proven why she’s an auto buy author for me after reading this book! Cade is SUCH A GRUMP and I love him so much for it. Reading book 1, Willa was easily one of my most favorite characters, and I frequently blew up my bestie’s phone with things like “Willa just said _____.” It’s no surprise to me that I also loved her in this story. I’m not huge on age gap romances for my own insane reasons, but I thought it was done well here. Overall, I loved everything about this book. I had an absolute blast while reading it, and it now sits on my shelf as one of my most treasured books.

Is One Truly the Loneliest Number?

I was given a digital copy of One? by Jennifer L. Cahill.  She reached out to me through Twitter, and she was so sweet.  I couldn't wait to dive into her book.💙 The Plot (From Goodreads): It's London in the mid-noughties before Facebook, iPhones and ubiquitous wifi. Zara has just moved to London for her first real job and struggles to find her feet in a big city with no instruction manual. Penelope works night and day in an investment bank with little or no time for love. At twenty-eight she is positively ancient as far as her mother is concerned and the pressure is on for her to settle down as the big 3-0 is looming. Charlie spends night and day with his band who are constantly teetering on the verge of greatness. Richard has relocated to London from his castle in Scotland in search of the one, and Alyx is barely in one place long enough to hold down a relationship let alone think about the future. One? follows the highs and lows of a group of twenty-somethings living ...

When the Sky Fell on Splendor by Emily Henry

 If you thought I hated Great Big Boring Life, just wait until you hear about my thoughts on this one! Seriously, I think Emily Henry and I are about to break up forever. It’s not me, it’s her. The premise for this book was really fantastic, but the execution was a total failure. The characters weren’t engaging, and I found myself hate reading this one. There are too many monotonous characters that run together, and I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them. There was supposed to be a found family trope somewhere in this one, but maybe I missed it because I was too busy rolling my eyes at the stupidity of it all. Speaking of stupidity, let’s talk about this “ending.” This ending filled me so full of rage that I was stomping around my house yelling “do you believe this crap” to my dog. Spoiler alert, she didn’t get it either.  I would say the only good thing about this book is the cover, but that’s ruined because of the steaming pile of trash that was the ending, so I can’t ...
