The scene where Cal asked to join Alana nearly done killed me!! My favorite scene of all the series.. hands down!! 😂 Cal is too funny!! I’m rooting for him and his struggles with his addiction. As fellow addict, I know how difficult it is and I appreciate Lauren Asher for taking us on this journey of his struggle. She did such a great job and I’m dying to finish this book, it’s so good!!

I was introduced to this book a long time ago by a YouTuber I was so fond of. She deleted all her videos and seizes to exist but every time I reconnect with this book, I’m reminded of the memories of the time where her videos made my day!!

I love this book so much!

I wish Iris had a back bone…. Like Zahra, why does she keep giving in to him?!?!! But I’m glad he finally gave in to her conditions!!! Despite the fact, I’m still obsessed with this book!

I’m obsessed with this book. I couldn’t stop reading it, I didn’t even realize my iPad was dying until it died on me. I got lost in the book.!!

My first time reading a classic after college. Maybe I’m just not used to this kind of literature and need to ease into it. I want to DNF but I’m gonna follow through. Mama didn’t raise no quitter.

I wrongfully assumed the second book would be about Cal since he was the second oldest, but I thought wrong!! I’m so excited for this read! I’m glad the love interest is black!

I did some research on pride and prejudice, this feels like a retelling of the old classic lol it’s funny how the main character is obsessed with that story when her story is quite similar!!! I’m reading pride and prejudice next! I got too!

I love this book so far!!

Lauren Asher has really great dialogues, I’ll give her that

I just love the dialogue and the back and forth with Rowan and Zahra!!

I can’t put this book down!!!

So far I’m enjoying Rowan’s digs at Zahra lol he’s so clever with his responses, and some are just so uncalled for like he’s so bothered by this girl for no reason. Zahra is funny lol I love how unbothered she is!!

So good!!

Reading a James Baldwin after years of only reading his books in academia. It’s interesting so far. I’m reading it slowly because I’m reading it with someone else. He’s pretty slow.

I got obsessed with child soldier books after reading “They Poured Fire on Us from the Sky.” Such a really good book! I love learning about war and it’s affects on people in Africa. I’m learning so much!!!

I love this book! Also I’ve heard the word concubine before but never used this much that’s crazy. I want to marry a Saudi prince but this book is making me rethink that desire lol

The book is so science and numbers heavy lol but I get it. Although she co-owns a foundation, her passion lies in public health and research so I get why. I was expecting it to be a bit more personal Michelle Obamas book but it’s not lol. But good book so far. I’m half way done!!

I’m learning so much. Wow.

I’m learning so much about love. Really good book!!

I’m learning so much about love. It’s so therapeutic.

I love it. It’s a nice break from reading many of the heavy books I plan on tackling this year.
