Review: “To be a woman is to be a sacrifice.” Immanuelle is considered an outcast because she is biracial and even though she lives with her White family members, she still had to keep her head down, her nose clean and work twice as hard to prove her self worth. *Sighs*⠀ ⠀ I must say Immanuelle has become one of […]
Review Max and Quinn had a summer fling as teenagers. Fast forward several years later and they are forced to work together and neither one of them are pleased. The back and forth banter between the two of them was everything. The shade and snarky comments gave me life. You could also cut the tension with a knife and […]
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 After reading and loving Some Places More Than Others by Renee Watson, I am making it my business to read more of her books. I watched the television show Ramona when I was younger so this is a nice and refreshing spin on the character. This book doesn’t have a traditional plot but the general consensus is how to […]
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.

Review I will say that reading this book has made me think twice about my own social media usage. This book is about a group of people called the Hive who dole out social media justice when needed. Lord. Imagine if an organization like this really existed? A lot of people would be in BIG trouble. In my opinion, social […]

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 […]
