Because I Was Lonely by Hayley Mitchell
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

QOTD: What did your last relationship teach you?

My Review:
I want to thank RedDoor Books for sending me a copy of Because I was Lonely by Hayley Mitchell in exchange for an honest review. When you receive books from a publisher, you always hope that you will love it so you can give it a great rating. Sometimes, the book is not an easy read and you can only be honest about it.

This is a story of two people who reconnect through Facebook. Rachel and Adam were close once but went their separate ways, married and started their own families. Fast forward many years and they are both suffering from depression and are experiencing difficulties with their spouses. They turn to Facebook to reach out to other people, hoping to feel less lonely. They find each other and start sexting using Messenger. Imagine two lonely people trying to find companionship through virtual sex. This can only lead to disaster.

I was not able to relate to this book and ended up not liking it much. The writing was good and the characters were well developed. I was hoping for a happier ending and dod not get it.

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
