Review I loved the strong female friendships in this book and how it’s important to have a tribe of women that have your back. Samiah works at a Tech company and this story touches on the challenges she faces as being the only Black woman in her position and the pressure that comes with in that role. Like the old […]
Review This was my first time reading Sajni Patel and it wasn’t a bad read. I enjoy reading diverse books that showcases other cultures that aren’t my own. I knew a little about Indian tradition but this book opened my eyes in a new way. I must say the way some of the men treated and talked about the women […]
Review This was a well written book about family secrets and how it affects each person differently. How the family deals with the aftermath of the secrets being revealed and their attempt to move forward. We have Camino and Yahaira who are sisters and only find out about each other after the passing of their father. These two girls couldn’t […]
Review This book was nicely written, family focused and introduced me into a new culture filled with a rich history. While reading, I felt like I was in the story fighting along with the squad. Some but not many of the phrases are written in Spanish so I did have to break out Google translate but that made the story […]
Review I’m a sucker for second chance romance stories so I jumped at the chance to read this book. Darius and Audra dated in grad school and broke up. Five years later they are reunited. I liked the both of them because they were go getters and Darius was self made. I also felt like simple communication would have […]
Review: Phew. This book had a lot going on at times and it was intense. This book was a little depressing if I am being honest. It touched on a death in the family. Child abuse. Dealing with prejudice, closed minded and racist people. It also talked about how being gay in the black comminuty is such a big taboo. […]
Ashton and Devon meet during the summer and have a typical summer fling but things don’t always go as planned. Not going to lie I didn’t feel their connection right away. I would have also liked to read both points of views from the characters during their time apart. As the story progressed and they started to spend more time […]
Review So I wanted to read this book due to the topic. Simone is a teenager living with HIV. The beginning starts out with her going to the gyn doctor with her dad. Okay..no big deal but he was in the room for the ENTIRE exam. How? She is 17 why are you in the exam room with her during […]
Review This was my first reading this author and it wasn’t a bad read but I felt like something was missing while I read. The chapters are really short so I don’t know if that affected my ability to connect to the characters. In my opinion, all the characters had the same personality throughout the book. I did enjoy the […]
Review I’m not really a fan of biographies or memoirs but something about this Leah Vernon person made me want to read. Maybe it was the cover? The title? The blurb? Who knows? But I am so glad I took a chance because this was a very good read. The author was raw, explicit, honest and kept it all the […]
