The food lover in me was immediately drawn to this book and this debut did not disappoint.

I liked Isabella and Molly‘s dynamic, and all the supporting characters in the story (Jeannie!!). The food descriptions were amazing and how this author described landmarks and tidbits about the restaurant and food industries.

Very entertained by this one and I loved the cover!

All the Mothers: A Novel | Domenica Ruta
post image
Pickpick

The depictions of single motherhood were very accurate and then adding to that mix becoming best friends with your Baby Daddy‘s other Baby Mama? 🤯

Was this messy? Of course, it was! But, the way these women rose to the challenge just because they wanted to support each other and have the kids grow up together was a beautiful thing to read.

Loved, LOVED this story!

Reggie Awww there was a short on YouTube where these 2 best friends moved in together with their kids and they found it much more supportive and easier than living with their ex husbands. Nice review! 2w

This book was wild! I even enjoyed the long chapters at the beginning, the storytelling was that engaging. We follow 4 characters and their intertwining stories.

I loved the writing on this. My only complaint is that I wished we'd gotten more of a story on Akari (the last chapter felt like it had too many things happening and I felt that some questions were left unanswered).

This was wonderful! All I knew going into this memoir was that Ina is “The Barefoot Contessa.” I‘ve never watched her shows or purchased her cookbooks.

I came out of this a fan! And being able to listen to Ina‘s voice telling her story made it so much more special.

Now I want to buy one of her cookbooks and start trying her recipes.

Loved! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I started reading this one with a lot of expectations, since it has been listed as an anticipated release this year (that should‘ve been my first red flag…). The story was engaging for about 50%, but then it took a whole different turn (not for the better, IMO).

It became predictable, which in turn made it boring for me.

This being the author‘s first novel makes it a great effort and I will read her future work.

I went into this one with such high expectations after loving the author‘s first novel. Unfortunately, I struggled with the story.

Too many POVs and backstories made it hard for me to keep everyone‘s story straight. It also made the book too long and all I kept wishing was for the story to end.

Will keep reading this author in the future, this one just didn‘t work for me.

Dogs of Summer | Andrea Abreu

Sometimes while reading this book you just feel like you‘re reading about the same thing over and over. But, then you remember that the narrator is a teen girl and she‘s telling you about her summer with her best friend.

Another unique thing about this one is the language. Written entirely in local slang, it took me a bit to get used to, but this just added to the richness of the story.

Loved! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this one so much! Set in Georgia in the 1960‘s, Doris is a very religious teen who needs to have an abortion and turns to her favorite teacher for help. The duo embark on a weekend trip to Atlanta for the procedure, which gets delayed. While waiting, Doris meets a cast of characters who completely change her worldview and broaden her life choices.

Definitely a favorite read this year!

I loved the premise of this book and it started out like a very promising read. I loved how the author used a lot of stereotypes to portray racism and privilege. It started going down for me at around 60%, I just felt like it started to become predictable and the ending felt very flat. I wished the author had taken a few more risks with this one.

Set in Atlanta in the 90's, Daniel and Jacob are employed by a developer who is trying to get government approval for new housing developments in the city in anticipation of the upcoming Olympics. These projects would mean displacement for the families in the area, who are mostly Black. In the story, we follow our protagonists as they navigate their values, ambitions and accepting who they are when it comes to their sexuality.

Out tomorrow! 4⭐️

3.5 ⭐️This started off with a bang, but as the story went on I just kept constantly checking how much more I had to go. It just felt too long.

I did like the autism representation, and that Soledad was biracial, but I felt that the author kept on hammering on the same things and it became repetitive.

This was OK overall, but I didn't love it as much as the first one in the series.

Ready for book 3!

There was a point while reading this novel where I almost gave up on it because I felt I was not getting it. But, I kept reading and it turned into one of the most beautiful examples of how the use of language can just turn your emotions into a rollercoaster.

A story about women rebelling about the cards dealt to them. These stories are not for the faint of heart, but you will not be able to look away.

We follow Justine, Eskedare, Flora, Zeinah and Dounia, who are very different from each other, but their lives get intertwined as they navigate life in the Gulf.

If you love stories about the power of the human spirit, and especially the resilience of women, read this!

This was such a great book, I didn‘t want it to end! Yasmen and Josiah are possibly my fave fictional couple right now.

Loved Kennedy Ryan‘s approach to second-chance romance, and especially loved how mental health and therapy were such a central part of the story.
