Review Sophia was strong willed and assertive. I loved that she didn’t want to get in line, know her place and live her life serving a man or anyone. The story touched on a lot of topics especially the treatment of young girls and women. The author created a world that was very detailed and I could see everything playing […]
Review This book had a very strong start and I couldn’t put the book down but it did stall in the middle. I’m happy I pushed through because the book got really good and the twist took me by surprise. The WHOLE book I was thinking one thing and then the author went and pulled the rug from under my […]
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 Saving Ruby King is a very thought provoking own voices novel. As a black woman living in America, I found myself stopping to highlight and reflect numerous time while reading this story. There are several characters in this story and they all have their own points of view. It was a little tricky at first but I eventually found […]

Review I’m not really a fan of memoirs but I was sent a copy of this book by Celadon Books and I decided to check it out based on the blurb. The author was in a cult called Synanon. I never heard of that cult before so I looked it up and talk about intense. The the story starts off […]
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 *Thank you to GoodReads and Custom House for my review copy* As much as I wanted to like this book, it didn’t work out in my favor. I didn’t really care for the main character Ines. I feel she is written in a way that you will either like or dislike her character. I did like Yaya who is […]
Review We have Hazel who is in the middle of crossroads in her life due to the end of her long term relationship. Hazel wasn’t happy and knew she needed to make some changes in her life.
