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.

    Jean-Marie Schaller replica watches (JMS): As an independent watchmaker, adaptability must remain our biggest strength. We are used to a quickly changing world and need to find an adequate response as fast as we can.
    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…

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 ...

First Post-Here We Go!

This is still a little insane to me.  Last week I wasn't even thinking a Bookstagram would be possible for me, let alone a blog!  What if I'm not interesting?  What if my reviews are terrible?  What if I actually have BAD taste in books? I guess we're going to find out.  Follow me.  Be patient with me.  Grow with me.  Let's explore as many amazing stories, wonderful authors, and unforgettable books as we can! 💙

Less is more? An honest take on Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.

I finished this book and immediately thought, "I wish this wasn't going to be my first book review."  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?  Let's see if that's true. The plot is interesting enough.  Arthur Less is a failure.  He's a failed novelist.  He's also a failed lover, proven by the wedding invitation from his ex that shows up in his mail.  The love of his life has found someone else to love.  What does he do, as a functioning adult?  He accepts invitations to participate in literary events around the world in an attempt to avoid the nuptials.  Less travels to Mexico, Italy, Germany, Morocco, India, and Japan in an effort to avoid his grief.  This is a love story, a satirical look at Americans abroad, and an honest, if not painful look at relationships and how they progress over time. Sounds entertaining enough, right?  This book was 260 pages and I felt every single one of them.  I trudged through th...
