Review *This book has subject matter that may be sensitive to some readers.* Rukhsana is queer and has a secret girlfriend, but she can’t come out to her very strict Muslim parents. The plan is to wait until she is eighteen and away at college. Sadly things don’t go as planned and it’s all downhill from here. I had no […]
Review As a fan of the t.v. show “Doogie Hoswer, M.D”, I was excited to read this book. Saira is an Oncologist working with children that have cancer. Not going to lie, this was a tough subject for me to read at times. I had a good friend that passed away from cancer and reading about kids with this […]
Review This was a nice anthology that features diverse characters. We had a few f/f stories and a transgender story that was written by a transgender author. As a reader of color inclusion is very important to me. I wish I had a book like this when I was teenager but as an adult I still appreciated this story and […]
Review Emoni is a teen mother and I loved how this story showcased what happens after the pregnancy and everything the teen mom faces. The whispers. The pity. The stares. Baby Daddy drama. The stigma. The day to day. What the future will bring? The ups and downs of it all. Emoni was a very refreshing character and I loved […]
Review When I saw this book the blurb had me intrigued and I really wanted to read. When my copy finally came in from the library, I was excited to read but sadly this book didn’t work out in my favor. I couldn’t connect to any of the characters and I felt the story went on and on (and on […]
Review So when I first started reading I wasn’t sure if I would continue reading. I had a very hard time connecting to Maeve. I felt her personality was lacking but as I kept reading she grew on me and I wanted nothing but the best. I loved her family and her friends who supported her throughout this story. Maeve […]
Review: Jack meets Kate at a party. They hit it off and have four wonderful months before she dies. Jack is given an opportunity to go back in time and change events. So I did like the way the story started but at times I find the story to be long and drawn out. Even repetitive at times. A large […]
Review: In honor of Black History Month, I have been reading more books written by black authors. I have seen this book on social media and decided to take a chance reading this new to me author. I really liked Miah and Elle. They were complex but simple at the same time. They are a newly interracial couple and face […]
Review: Amanda is one of the descendants of Cupid but doesn’t believe in love. Isn’t that something? This was a cute and funny story about a girl trying to run away from love as fast as she can. Amanda has always felt love wasn’t real and pretty much a chemical disorder. I liked Amanda and thought she was a hoot! […]
Review: I was at my local library and this book was on display at the Black History Month section. The book features 16 contributing authors and I have read three of the authors separately so I decided to check the book out. I’m over 100 pages in and these are some really good short stories. Even though this book is […]
