Melise is starting Under the Magnolia Trees
Beautiful poetic writing but the FMC is too anxious to function due to a bad relationship and break up. She’s wishy washy but not on purpose and just exhausting to read. Shes all over the place emotionally and she talks about all this healing work she’s done but we the reader don’t see it. DNF @ 66%

I tried but I feel like this author gives us the same type of characters, same/very similar locations and it just becomes a bore to me

I know it’s gonna be a cliff hanger but it’s so good that I’m not even mad. Emory is a top tier book bae for sure even though the romance aspect is the least interesting part of this book

We need another urban category lmao like purely urban drama or mess something to better categorize books. Like it’s no reason it’s minimal plot and nonstop foolery in some of these books with no real resolution or point. Like sometimes I wanna read drama for the sake of drama and other times I want my book to make some damn sense.

Melise is starting Isn't She Lucky
FMC is not likeable lmao she’s a pocket watching weirdo. Like she paid money to take her former childhood BFF out admits she finds him attractive and all that jazz but my goodness the constant comments about his bank account were exhausting.

Melise is 50% done with Taming a Menace
I’m fighting for my life yall the MMC is actually mentally unwell dealing with repressed trauma from CSA, he’s ignorant and while you want to feel for him as a reader his laziness and inability to do the work is irritating. He’s obsessed with the FMC but really playing at her job and setting her up for a ruined career and reputation idk man

We need more hinged MMCs lmao I feel like we’ve strayed too far and a little crazy has turned into Arkham asylum vibes and idk it’s just not romantic. If everything takes our MMC over the edge then baby he need not date, like gone head and get the socks and do a lil extended stay for us. Like we so deep in the unhinged trenches that they aren’t even good partners 😭😭

IMO if you’re an author writing apart of a multi author anthology you should not be writing a cliffhanger or making the story two parts. Like huh we already got 9474 other books in the series/family to work through now we getting incomplete tales 😒😒😒

Melise is 35% done with No Remedy For Love
It’s a lot going on that really shouldn’t be and it’s not written well enough for me to be like OHHHHH. It’s like stop giving the girls jobs that require brains and making them dumb everywhere else. The story is drama filled and entertaining but I don’t see the justification behind the choices other than chaos

This might be a DNF 20% in and it’s a bunch of issues I don’t care for.
FMC- is gay but only cus no one noticed her and she was homely. Shes basically paid to have sex with the MMC cus the manipulator/ cheater shared between her and the MMC caught her in a desperate position. She lacks boundaries with her LOSER brother
