A wedding planner left at the altar. Yeah, the irony isn’t lost on Carolina Santos, either. But despite that embarrassing blip from her past, Lina’s managed to make other people’s dreams come true as a top-tier wedding coordinator in DC. After impressing an influential guest, she’s offered an opportunity that could change her life. There’s just one hitch… she has to collaborate with the best (make that worst) man from her own failed nuptials.
Tired of living in his older brother’s shadow, marketing expert Max Hartley is determined to make his mark with a coveted hotel client looking to expand its brand. Then he learns he’ll be working with his brother’s whip-smart, stunning—absolutely off-limits—ex-fiancée. And she loathes him.
If they can survive the next few weeks and nail their presentation without killing each other, they’ll both come out ahead. Except Max has been public enemy number one ever since he encouraged his brother to jilt the bride, and Lina’s ready to dish out a little payback of her own.
But even the best laid plans can go awry, and soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them. Still, this star-crossed couple can never be more than temporary playmates because Lina isn’t interested in falling in love and Max refuses to play runner-up to his brother ever again…
Review below
Such an enjoyable romance novel from start to finish, if u know me I love a good hate to love trope and this for sure was a great one. It has so many great elements throughout and I loved the dynamic between both the main characters and the writing just seemed to flow and make this relationship work and feel authentic, which I love.
One thing I love in any books are family aspects and this for sure has many moments with some great members of Linda’s family and friends which I really enjoyed and loved how dysfunctional they all were in such good ways. Loved how they always tried to encourage Lina to do what she wanted to do too.
Overall it was a really great novel, not top tier as in out of this world romance but I really nice and sweet romance that you can fly through!!!
Meet Pepper, swim team captain, chronic overachiever, and all-around perfectionist. Her family may be falling apart, but their massive fast-food chain is booming — mainly thanks to Pepper, who is barely managing to juggle real life while secretly running Big League Burger’s massive Twitter account.
Enter Jack, class clown and constant thorn in Pepper’s side. When he isn’t trying to duck out of his obscenely popular twin’s shadow, he’s busy working in his family’s deli. His relationship with the business that holds his future might be love/hate, but when Big League Burger steals his grandma’s iconic grilled cheese recipe, he’ll do whatever it takes to take them down, one tweet at a time.
All’s fair in love and cheese — that is, until Pepper and Jack’s spat turns into a viral Twitter war. Little do they know, while they’re publicly duking it out with snarky memes and retweet battles, they’re also falling for each other in real life — on an anonymous chat app Jack built.
As their relationship deepens and their online shenanigans escalate — people on the internet are shipping them?? — their battle gets more and more personal, until even these two rivals can’t ignore they were destined for the most unexpected, awkward, all-the-feels romance that neither of them expected.
Review

Tweet cute was just the cutest story ever and has all the elements in a romance novel that all/most people would love to read about and it will definitely make you go heart eyes over the two main characters we follow in this book.
Tweet cute follows pepper and Jack who online are currently in a twitter war against each other for their families big restaurent chains who are rivals, but under all this all is not as it seems as the two main characters who go to the same school have no idea that they are the ones that they are having this online and viral against each other. under the surface though we see pepper and jack also are speaking on an app created by jack called weasel which lets you talk anonymously to someone who is in their school for a certain time. so as the story unfolds we see all the trials and tribulations with what happens between the both of them and also the viral sensations of both their families Restaurants.

Lucky caller by Emma Mills
Goodreads synopsis When Nina decides to take a radio broadcasting class her senior year, she expects it to be a walk in the park. Instead, it’s a complete disaster.
The members of Nina’s haphazardly formed radio team have approximately nothing in common. And to maximize the awkwardness her group includes Jamie, a childhood friend she’d hoped to basically avoid for the rest of her life.
The show is a mess, internet rumors threaten to bring the wrath of two fandoms down on their heads, and to top it all off Nina’s family is on the brink of some major upheaval.
Everything feels like it’s spiraling out of control―but maybe control is overrated?

You Too ? edited by Janet Gurtler
Goodreads synopsis
A timely and heartfelt collection of essays inspired by the #MeToo movement, edited by acclaimed young adult and middle-grade author Janet Gurtler. Featuring Beth Revis, Mackenzi Lee, Ellen Hopkins, Saundra Mitchell, Jennifer Brown, Cheryl Rainfield and many more.
When #MeToo went viral, Janet Gurtler was among the millions of people who began to reflect on her past experiences. Things she had reluctantly accepted—male classmates groping her at recess, harassment at work—came back to her in startling clarity. She needed teens to know what she had not: that no young person should be subject to sexual assault, or made to feel unsafe, less than or degraded.
You Too? was born out of that need. By turns thoughtful and explosive, these personal stories encompass a wide range of experiences and will resonate with every reader who has wondered, “Why is this happening to me?” or secretly felt that their own mistreatment or abuse is somehow their fault—it’s not. Candid and empowering, You Too? is written for teens, but also an essential resource for the adults in their lives—an urgent, compassionate call to listen and create change.
Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown
Goodreads Synopsis
A powerful memoir for fans of Piecing Me Together by Renee Watson and American Street by Ibi Zoboi.
Echo Brown is a wizard from the East Side, where apartments are small and parents suffer addictions to the white rocks. Yet there is magic . . . everywhere. New portals begin to open when Echo transfers to the rich school on the West Side, and an insightful teacher becomes a pivotal mentor. Each day, Echo travels between two worlds, leaving her brothers, her friends, and a piece of herself behind on the East Side. There are dangers to leaving behind the place that made you. Echo soon realizes there is pain flowing through everyone around her, and a black veil of depression threatens to undo everything she’s worked for.
Heavily autobiographical and infused with magical realism, Black Girl Unlimited fearlessly explores the intersections of poverty, sexual violence, depression, racism, and sexism—all through the arc of a transcendent coming-of-age.
First read of the month and even though it’s had its mixed reviews and I was a little apprehensive going Into this I thoroughly enjoyed this new Christina Lauren book. I went down the audiobook route and the narrator was really good and flew through it real fast.
I didn’t really know much about this one before going into it but I did know about a encounter that happens twice throughout the main characters life, but other than that nothing else. So when I was listening to this book and it was about an actress and the behind the scenes look at the life on set of a movie it really suprised me and really enjoyed it.
Yes throughout this book there were moments I was like mmm and didn’t know wether I quite like that part overall a very good read, for me definitely not one of my favs but it definitely hasn’t been the baddest. The unhoneymooners is still my favourite to date. Another part of this story is a feel that maybe the ending could of Been rushed as it seemed like it went from one thing straight the next thing in a matter of a moment or two.
But as with any Christina Lauren novel I get so excited to read any book by them and when a new book is announced it is just wonderful haha and now I’m very excited for the newest book to be released.
Full review to come but really loved this book so much and definitely one of my fav ya fantasy books of the year for surrreee the characters are amazing and all the witchiness is amazing and this book definitely felt really original and fresh and I loved it, always like a book that surprises and feels really new and what I’ve never read about before. So excited for the sequel and need it nowwwww haha
It took me a while to finish as have been really busy recently and haven’t been able to read but so happy I’ve finally finished this book, so perfect for Halloween season too
Was so surprised about this read as the first book I wasn’t really a fan and didn’t really connect to the story but this sequel was so gooood, I enjoy this book and found it 10x better than the first book. I felt like the story was so much more improved and felt like such a solid storyline and was more engaged with the characters and especially near the end felt quite emotional with one of the main characters in the books.
Such a great read and very excited about the next adventure these characters embark on and which city or country they visit. One thing that is a bonus is you do learn about a lot of different aspects of history too which is a really cool touch that is added in to the books too.
Overall a amazing surprise of a book and such a quick and easy book to fly through and perfect for so many ages 🙌🏻🙌🏻.
“Happy. And that’s the odd thing. Not being happy, but realising it. Because how often, when you’re happy, do you have the chance to step back and notice?” – we are the lost and found
I started this book right here (we are the lost and found) earlier today and Flew through this book. Ooo what a book this was, such a moving and heartbreaking book set in New York in the early 80s, during the AIDS epidemic. we follow Micheal and his two best friends and how they are struggling with trying to find a place to fit in the world. but especially our main character Micheal who feels he can’t be himself and wants to stay in the shadows and hide the real him especially after his brother Conor was kicked out the house by his parents for being gay. We see throughout this book how tough Micheal is being on the outside but In the inside he just wants to just wants to tell everyone the truth, but he keeps pushing it back and not ready to just yet.
Oh this book was just such beautifully written with amazing characters that you just want to hug and make sure they are okay, when they feel down or lonely. Just reading about the struggles just pull at your heartstrings. The whole book it does feel like a real persons life in one year and feel like your reading someone’s life and how they saw the AIDS epidemic.
Helene did an amazing job with this book and even though I didn’t really know what this book was I was so pleased that I really enjoyed this book, yes this book might not be for everyone in the way it is written but for me I felt it flowed and was such a cool and interesting writing style.
This story has such great character development, a amazing friendship, brothers who try their best to be there for each other and also all the 80s music mixed in.
Approved for a E-ARC on netgalley by the publishers in exchange for a honest review.
Wow Wow Wow this book was amazing and actually came as a shock to me really, because before reading this book I didn’t know anything about it and I had only seen the cover and I was ooo like this cover. So when I started this book and was so suprised by how good this was I was shook to say the least and let me just tell you the world that the author has been written inside this book is amazing but so so terrifying at the same time.
While reading this books you can just visualise so many of the places that the main character goes to and where she lives and I’m so excited that there is going to be a adaptation of this book and hopefully it is done very well because This book deserves it and I highly recommend this as one to be put to the top of your TBR’s.
The characters in this book are awesome and especially the main character, the way she is courageous and never gives up in a world that tells her she shouldn’t do this or do that, she rises above it and always but her life at risk for her family but also friends.
I don’t want to say much more as would like for everyone to experience this book and hopefully everyone finishes reading this book and loves it as much as I did.
This book is a 4.5/5 stars for me and one that is definitely a favourite of the year.
Firstly I have to say that this book was really good it isn’t the best book in the world but I enjoyed reading this book. I know that it has been given a few mixed reviews and from reading them I definitely can see where they are coming from… because when I started reading this book I was like woah this is not what I expected it to be like as it was definitely put differently to me through people speaking of the book and synopsis. It wasn’t the perfect book has it definitely has lots of flaws but overall I really enjoyed this book and The main character is a very cool character. A lot different to what I expected but overall I enjoyed it. Throughout the book we get some very awesome scenes between the two main characters and love how badass Celine is and how she doesn’t back down from anything and will show anyone who tests her that they are messing with the wrong woman 🙌🏻🙌🏻.
I’ve got to say I’m very excited for the sequel and feel that it’s definitely going to be better than the first one already especially with how the ending was made and I just need to know what happens next with these characters especially Celine.
One thing that I didn’t really like was I was expecting it to be so much darker and darker, it definitely had its moment of dark but didn’t have much as wanted, with a few scenes I was Like oooo okay this is atmospheric but then it would change back after 10 pages or so to back to how it was before.
As I’ve said before this book was really good and was an enjoyable read, I flew through it so quick and was mostly impressed just had wished it was even darker and more vampire moments as I thought it would be all throughout.
Wow Wow Wow!!! Yesterday I read and finished in a day demi Moore’s memoir and what a book this was.
This memoir has got to be one of/is my favourite memoir I have read ever. Demi Moore doesn’t hold back in telling her story, she tells us all about her rocky relationship she had with her parents while growing up, her romantic relationships with Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher and also the secret addictions she was facing. While reading this Memoir for me I was getting quite emotional throughout, reading about her childhood trauma and actually also through her career, with the backlash she had received from the public and sometimes people close to her. When Demi talks about the movies she has starred in throughout this memoir, I loved getting little behind the scenes snippets of what it was like in movies such as Ghost, G.I Jane, indecent proposal and so many other great films, but even while she was making these films she was dealing with a battle with her body image, food and exercise. Demi’s life has not been smooth sailing but I love that when reading this you get a sense that even through all the things that have happened to her in her life she is just trying to find peace, hope and happiness for herself for the rest of her life. I would recommend this memoir to anyone, so eye opening and one of the best memoirs I’ve read.
