Christmas has nothing to do with it
The story is about Noelle, she just broke up with her 12 years boyfriend and she misses her dead friend for 15 years, and on top all of that she is stuck in a blizzard in her car in the highway, lucky for her the car next to her is an American guy called Sam, he provides her with a phone charger and a good company, thinking she will never see him again she goes about her life (which is not pretty) until she keeps meeting him again and again .. maybe fate is planning something on its own ?
the book was boring as hell, no romance and not a single decent character, they were all toxic and nothing really was happening
I was planning to read more from this author but I guess we are not meant to be ...more

Evie Crowe, a single mother with an infant son works at a thrift store In Texas Then Luke Ward enters—a tall, reserved farmer with a quiet demeanor, searching for jeans that fit his frame (and I guess he's a huge man ... ? ) . While Evie feels a secret attraction to him, she’s not looking for romance, whereas Luke hopes for something far deeper.
all that happens in a chapter .. the rest of the story was porn .. I tried to laugh but every time I cringe more !! I guess there is a reason why this author hasn't been on my radar...more

0.5 Star UGHHHHH what was this ?? seriously that was horrible, I don't how I could complete this book! The idea of the book is nice, it's about Lauren 0.5 Star UGHHHHH what was this ?? seriously that was horrible, I don't how I could complete this book! The idea of the book is nice, it's about Lauren and Asa they work together in a place in Orlando called Cold World, where its basically Christmas all year long, but these two hate each other's guts, until they realize that Cold World is failing and they might go bankrupt and they will unite to save it, and they discover they love each other all along now, after my quick summary you would think, wow, that is so darn cute why are you having such a reaction towards it ? .. well my friends, that's because every character in the book is an utter crap, specially that sorry of an excuse Asa, he is the ultimate drama queen, and Lauren is just pethetic I really hated every moment in this book, the only thing that saved it is the last scene, otherwise the story was boring as hell and everything erked me to no end ...more

This book follows Nora Grey after she gor Patch as her guardian angel, but this angel is behaving in devious ways and Nora is not accepting it mainly because he is her boyfriend and he's not supposed to kiss other girls, right ? I decided to read this series expecting fallen angels and a story similar to Twilight instead I get a half baked a story about a girl clinging to her lying, cheating boyfriend who might or might not be a killer ???.. guys, Nora Grey made Bella Swan soind like a queen .. at least Bella was obvious from the beginning, this is just a mess I don't know what to expect anymore...more
Dear Ryan, Eat your poop Sincerely, A Woman with some dignity
UGHHH!!! that was simply awful, Ryan is one of the worst MC's I stumbled upon for a whilDear Ryan, Eat your poop Sincerely, A Woman with some dignity
UGHHH!!! that was simply awful, Ryan is one of the worst MC's I stumbled upon for a while, damn !! The story is a second chance romance about Kara and Ryan, they met in college and fell in love but they couldn't handle the long distance relationship after graduation so they broke up, and it wasn't peaceful, it was ugly as hell .. fast forward ten years later both of these suckers meet a wedding party and they pretend that they hate each other while in reality all they want is resume where they left off .. Kara convinces herself that she needs Ryan to complete her book, while Ryan is being his jerk self with no apparent reason until ... what comes after the (until) is what pissed me off the most, it's no secret that I really don't like second chance romances but I was willing to give the book a chance and keep my mind open .. but that ending made me so mad because this is the text book definition of a toxic relationship, who would take this asshole after what he did ? the jerk .. so glad it's over ...more
I really don't know WTF did I just read .. The story basically is about a certain Elizabeth Zott she is a scientist and she wants the world to revolveI really don't know WTF did I just read .. The story basically is about a certain Elizabeth Zott she is a scientist and she wants the world to revolve around her, by being super rude to everyone around her and believing that every man in the universe is out to get her for some reason, she falls in love with a collogue named Calvin and we will witness how Calvin is enduring Elizabeth's toxic mentality and trying to keep up with her.. 10 years later Elizabeth is with a child, a girl named Mad (because she couldn't be bothered to give her a full name ) and what a poor child she is, I don't think she had a day of a single normal childhood and when an offer comes to her to appear on TV to teach women how to cook using chemistry she manages to be angry about everything and anything because her demands weren't met, but nonetheless because she's the MC of course she will always be right .. the book was supposed to be set in the 1950's to 1960's but it seems to me that Elizabeth is just a woman from our time trying to preach the author's thoughts to everyone, nothing about the book was appealing or interesting .. it's so weird it got the praise it got, I guess complaining about everything in the universe will get you places these days and it's going to be a series ??? and starring Brie Larson ? god help us ...more

The story is about Sadie Hunter who wants to be a big star in Nashville, and Max Broody is her only ticket to the fame .. if she pretends to date him for a year, but the problem is Max is a jerk (and he doesn't get better until the end ) and Sadie must find a way to convince him to sing with her so she can fulfill her dream by Christmas this gave me "A Star Is Born" vibe, although the movie didn't have a "happy ending" it was more enjoyable to watch than reading this book .. every character was toxic in their own way and the book was simply sooo boring ...more

In this book we will follow El's senior year in the Scholomance school where she is preparing for her graduating ceremony, but El isn't planning to graduate alone, she is determined to save everyone in the school so there will be no deaths due to Mal's attacks with this extremally short summary I have told you 15 hours worth of pointless pages, there is no actual plot, it's just El describing everything that's happening around her .. a some point I lost track of which chapter I was in and I opened to a random chapter and started reading only to realize I skipped two chapters .. and the funny thing is .. I didn't even feel it !! I was reading even though I was skipping two chapters (of course I returned and read those two chapters because I am such a monster ) and I wasn't better off with it, the author has that was of making an exciting story such a bore that I'm really not interested to know what happens next I have to say .. that ending was somewhat shocking, but not enough to get me excited to read the next book .. which I will read anyways .. UGH thank god it's the last one ...more

I don't want to get into the environmental or the ethical arguments because it's an endless loop .. but health wise, science has proved time and time again that factory farmed meat is very harmful anyone and processed meat is a type 1 carcinogen, which means it can directly cause cancer .. look it up I know I'm taking these books so seriously, but these poisoned ideas can actually harm someone I will take a break from this series and once I calm down I will decide if I will return to it or not ...more
1.5 stars Ok so maybe I adjusted my expectations a little bit so this book wasn't as bad as the previous one .. but it wasn't good by any stretch of th1.5 stars Ok so maybe I adjusted my expectations a little bit so this book wasn't as bad as the previous one .. but it wasn't good by any stretch of the imagination.. hence my rating In this book we will follow Jordan, she is poor and she and her mom work at a cleaning job, from the first chapter we know that they got a job at a wealthy mansion in the city, little did she know that this house is the residence of Kai Rush, the richest guy in school and he is known as a snob and doesn't have any friends .. but the more they interact the more they see each other in a different light I really didn't care for the first half of the book where Jordan was blaming all her problems and all the world's problems on Kai just because he is rich and she's not .. GIRL, his father worked freaking hard for this .. don't make any excuses to feel sorry for your self another thing that really bothered me is the relationship between Jordan and Kai, it made zero sense and there wasn't any chemistry at all also, these toxic girls who call themselves the Curvy Girls Club are so annoying beyond anything .. I really can't care about them and their toxic ways, what kind of friendship they have if by any wiff of a problem the first thing that happens is they break up ???!! and once the problem gets solved they get back together the writing style needs A LOT of editing .. damn it looks like it was written by a five years old all and all the concept of the series is nice and admirable, thats why I will continue with it, and I will still keep expressing my honest opinion about it ...more

I usually get attracted to book about body positivity like "Cupcake by Cookie O'gorman" but this is Dumplin' kind of book where people are only thin or fat .. and thin people are always evil for some reason The story is about Cassie who is a photographer but due certain events she is forced to model in a lingerie campaign and the one who will photograph her is Reid, the one who she supposedly hate but slept with him from the second time she saw him and the story is about how will they say I love you to each other man this was such a waste of time and brain power , I feel like this was written by a harmonal 16 years old but edited by a lonely 40 years old .. it was awkward and talk about forced chemistry !! there wasn't any connection between them at all! none of the side character had any character to remember them by .. this was such a mess...more

Buckle up my friends, it's going to be a wild ride .. So let's begin with me during the book.. *MY EYEEESSSS* I rolled them so much I can't see straigBuckle up my friends, it's going to be a wild ride .. So let's begin with me during the book.. *MY EYEEESSSS* I rolled them so much I can't see straight anymore ehm, now to the review, The story is about Rory, who is fat and she feels like it's dictating her entire life specially with her "over bearing" mother who pushes her to eat healthy and take care of herself after she was diagnosed with PCOS, but she gets into a dare with one of the cheerleaders in her school, if she get to date the famous QB Beckett she will prove that fat girls can have a happily ever after too .. can she do it?
Now, as a former fat person who was diagnosed with Endometriosis ( which is basically PCOS times 4, literally ) I can honestly say this book is trying to push really rotten ideas. first, the mother has every right to worry about her 16\17 years old daughter who didn't have her period for the past THREE MONTHS !! AND she was diagnosed with PCOS and that shit is serious and can cause all sorts of problem ( I spent 10 years of my life trying to sort it out and it wasn't easy ), I'm sorry, what did you want her mother to do ? clap her hands and laugh about it ? of course she will want to fix it, and as corny as it will sound, yes healthy eating and losing weight is a main factor to reverse any hormonal issue, including PCOS, so, I am team mom on this one and I wish my mom had this knowledge when I was treating my Endometriosis, it would've saved me 10 years of my life and 5 major operations one of them is hysterectomy. Second, Rory was in a very bad place both physically and mentally yet she was expecting perfection from Beckett, she was so lost in her head that I can't be convinced that she liked him other than his "hot pants", and there was a scene where she literally tells him she was attracted to him because he has a nice body .. So, dear Rory, it's ok for you to have a fat body and a serious condition ( which you fail to see how serious it is ) but he can't ? is that what you are trying to tell me ? Third, those "friends" .. god, they were the worst part of the story, if you happen to stumble upon a this kind of people run away in the other direction because these people want you to stay put and never try to better your life, case on point, the moment Rory dated Beckett they left her because they felt intimidated by her, I think Rory could have more chemistry with a wall more than she had with those girls .. the author literally said there wasn't anything in common between them except they are all fat !!, imagine what will happen if one of them tried to better her life by losing weight ? god damn this fat acceptance movement I'm not saying you are worthless if you are fat, everybody should be treated with compassion and love no matter what size they wear .. but if you have excess fat cells in your body it can cause serious things to your body because it is not meant to carry this extra weight, and please guys don't give me that crap about ( I can't lose weight because of my hormones) GIRL .. you can't lose weight because you are eating too much calories, read that again please that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat .. look up the term Calorie Density and it will explain a lot for you man I think this is one of the longest reviews I've done so fat because the book really touched a nerve in me .. because all my life people were trying to shame me or tell me I can't strive for better because "This is who I am" well, I lost 30 KG ( 66 lbs), reversed my condition and I am in the best health of my life, while I am in menopause, so there is no excuse .. if you are lazy to do anything and just want some hot guy to love the way you are mistreating your body, please don't push this idea to other girls who can seriously get harmed by this thank you ----------------- Update: It seems that after two years of posting this review I'm still triggering people with what I said, and I feel that it's time to clear the air because it was never my intention to trigger anyone with my words, but I'm also glad to each and everyone who read my review and were amazing enough to talk to me in person and in the comments, so thank you for that, this update might be longer than the original review but I feel it's necessary to explain my point and I hope that anybody who reads this keep an open mind .. here goes .. First, The most common criticism I got is ( why did you read a book about a curvy girl if you are "fatphobic" ? ) I really wish that anybody who asked this question took the time read my review carefully, because I said it so many times .. I AM a curvy girl and I've been curvy my whole life and I enjoy reading books about curvy girls and there are so many great examples for books about curvy girls that I really enjoyed and recommend them all the time .. (Cupcake by Cookie O'Gorman) is one such example I never said curvy girls shouldn't have a happy ending, that's stupid and nobody worth his brain would ever say that .. but promoting a serious illness (like PCOS) as something your annoying mother is simply bothering you about is irresponsible, I am an Endometriosis survivor and it's the advanced form of PCOS and this is a serious subject and should never be treated lightly like it was done in the book
Second, about the idea that I am promoting not eating to lose weight .. that is the most absurd idea I've ever come cross, I've been dieting since I was 10 years old, not eating is the worst thing you can do for your body to lose weight, don't do it please .. everybody is free to do whatever they wish, but there are so many people who are struggling to lose weight, and after YEARS of dieting the term (calorie density) is what helped me to lose my weight, since nobody looked it up I will briefly explain it so we get clear, it's basically increasing the amount of healthy low calorie food over your regular food so you can create a calorie deficit in order for you to lose weight, nothing magical there, no starvation and no hunger .. just offsetting calories because the only way to lose weight is to create a calorie deficit ( that's common science )
Third, My opinion was based on me reading the book until the very last word, and we live in a free age where everyone have the right to express their opinion, and my review is my honest opinion, I appreciate anybody who read my review and I'm more than happy to have a CIVIL conversation about it .. no need to be rude about it
and finally, I am against the fat acceptance movement because I don't like it when somebody call themselves fat, that's not anybody's identity, we might have extra fat cells in our bodies but that doesn't define me or anybody .. we are beautiful no matter what .. what we need is self acceptance movement that teaches us how to love ourselves and treat us with the love and compassion we deserve, body shape has nothing to with it
I hope that explained my review and cleared up some misunderstandings, because this is one of my most popular reviews and I still don't know why .. Thank you once again...more

The story is about Norah who is very excited to spend her summer vacation with her family in an RV and with her mom's friend and most of all Skyler, her former childhood friend, but now they are "grown up" and for some reason Skyler have a chip on his shoulder and is being a jerk, the story takes place during those three weeks in an RV where Norah and Skyler find their way back together I really REALLY didn't care about Norah and Skyler and their endless drama, each one is trying to make a problem to make it the other's fault .. and there is a "secret" on why did this trip happen and it was so brushed off and it was such unnecessary drama !! also, Ty deserved better than this, he is a good person and deserved a better treatment than this ..in fact, I wish if he was the MC than Skyler because he was more original really disappointed and let down on this book, I still have hope for future writing from Kasie but this one definitely wasn't for me ...more
