Next Best Fling by Who Cares

This was another book that I really regretted requesting. The cover is so cute and it absolutely fooled me into thinking that it would be some cute romantic fling, when it was really just four narcissistic people all seem to hate each other, and none of them wanted to be together, really.

I guess I should’ve known that you can’t romanticize a story about two separate people who wanna break a couple’s engagement/wedding, and that fault is my own. However, The fact that this is poorly written, has terrible characters, and should have never existed as the book is not on me. The couple that get together for the fake dating whose names I’ve already forgotten have no chemistry, even after they start to “fall in love.” This author even managed to Make being a librarian sound like the most boring thing in the world, which is a true testament to this book is that my life revolves around books.

I could go on and on about how much I hated this book, but I have already wasted enough of my time on this title and I refuse to waste any more of it. I will mention one more thing though. There is a lot of unnecessary drinking in this book, To the point where it’s bordering on binging and alcoholism. I do not have a personal problem with alcohol, But I do have friends and family who have struggled. What is supposed to be romance and identifying that was not a good time. For someone who is actively struggling, that’s not the best thing to run into a book without a warning. It would be one thing if it was contributing to the plot, but it’s not. There is no plot, only garbage.

I’m not taking the time to share the cover for this one either. Don’t read it.

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 ...

Athena's Choice by Adam Boostrom

I received my copy of Athena's Choice from the promotional team on Instagram in exchange for my honest review. The year is 2099, and men have been absent from the earth for almost 50 years after a virus accidentally wiped all of them from the earth. There's a project attempting to bring men back and it has become quite controversial. When the sabotaged project leads authorities to Athena, this completely normal teenager must decide if she wants to help find the culprit. This book was pretty interesting. It read almost like a movie. It's definitely something I would watch if there was ever an on screen translation. The details and imagination of the author were fun to read. Despite the fact that science fiction is not typically my thing, I did enjoy my time spent reading it....right up until the end. Before I go any farther, I just have to say it. The ending sucked. I HATEDDD it. It made me want to throw the book....

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.
