🔹Happy publication day to FORGET YOU KNOW ME by Jessica Strawser🔹

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5

My Review:
This is the story of two best friends who grow apart and whose relationship comes to a near end after a tragic incident. Liza and Molly have been friends since their teens. Liza moved away to Chicago for work and Molly is dealing with major health and financial issues. One night, as they are skyping, Liza witnesses an intruder in Molly’s home while she is attending to her children. She scares the intruder away, but once she tells her friend about it, Molly is acting like it is no big deal. Liza is worried for her friend and drives all night to Cincinnati to find out while Molly is so aloof. When Liza confronts Molly, she gets a cold reception and eventually a slammed door in her face.

This book about their friendship and their separate lives. It was hard to read as there was no real common denominator between the two stories. I was expecting some conjunction to come eventually but did not get one.

I love reading and reviewing books before they are published. I promised the publishers to always provide an honest review and sometimes it is not an easy thing to do. I am giving a generous three-star rating to this book. The story did not grab me, and I found myself easily distracted while I was reading it. Not to say that you would not like it. The writing is good and there are great life lessons to learn.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for my advanced reader’s copy of this book. FORGET YOU KNOW ME by Jessica Strawser is now available at your favorite bookstore.

Review: Fight For Her by Liz Plum

Fight For Her by Liz Plum My rating: 3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! FIGHT FOR HER by Liz Plum is a coming-of-age YA Romance. It is an easy-going story about a love triangle between a popular girl, a star athlete, and a bad boy. The story was interesting and had some potential. It was just a bit too juvenile for my taste and sometimes too dramatic. It is nonetheless an enjoyable love story if you put your teenager's thinking cap on. The author delivered a good story with a lovely ending. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #fightforher #lizplum #bookreview View all my reviews

Review: Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

Waves by Ingrid Chabbert My rating: 5 of 5 stars WAVES, written by Ingrid Chabbert and beautifully illustrated by Carole Maurel, is a deeply personal and poetic graphic novel that explores the profound journey of a young couple trying to conceive. Drawing from the author's own experience, the story delves into the emotional depths of heartbreak, resilience, and the power of hope. The use of metaphors in Waves is exceptional, creating a mesmerizing reading experience. Chabbert skillfully weaves together the themes of writing, coping, and healing, forming a profound connection between the protagonist's pain and her quest for renewal. The dreamlike illustrations by Carole Maurel add an ethereal touch to the narrative, particularly in the visual depiction of the boat and waves of paper. While the subject matter is emotionally intense, WAVES is an extraordinary work that invites readers to embrace vulnerability and contemplate the complexities of life. I highly recommend this gra
