Leave the World Behind ― Rumaan Alam ―“Parenthood was never knowing what was going to hurt your kids, but knowing only that something, inevitably, would.”
I have been in the States only two times. One for work, and the other one — two days later — for leisure, and I can say that I fell in love with the city. I confirmed that New York City never sleeps and where most of the streets are always illuminated. The first time…

Red Queen ― Victoria Aveyard ― “The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.”
I am going to try to be as objective as possible with the reaction/review of this best seller book. I enjoyed the book, it kept me entertained, and the photos that I was able to take were incredible! I had so many hopes about the saga regardless of all the comments that I read about…

The Calling: Endgame ―James Frey ― “The future is unwritten. What will be will be.”
Once I discovered this book, people were saying and all the Goodreads reviews say that this is simply a ripoff of The Hunger Games… but I said this before, but I need to say it again. This is nothing like The Hunger Games and if you read that somewhere, don’t pay attention. I came to…

Perfect Ten ― L. Philips ― “’We paint. We write,’ he says, and his pretty blue eyes are sparkling with hope. ‘We remember how to fly.’”
There are two types of books: the ones that you want to finish and the ones that you need to finish, and Perfect Ten was the second type. I was desperate for this book to simply be over. Well, my experience was the second one! Oh my god! This book was one of the worst…

Red, White, & Royal Blue ― Casey McQuiston ―“There were those who would have seen us stumble backward into hatred and vitriol and prejudice, who wanted to reignite old embers of division within our country’s very soul.”
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I started using social media more. I struggled to find new ways to make new friends and be diligent about staying in touch with the old ones. From police brutality to wild fires, trending topics were increasing in severity by the week, but there was one constant: the…

Chosen Ones― Veronica Roth ― “Nature is bloody, and as a whole, it favors strength over compassion.”
I have always admired Veronica’s work and writing. I have love Divergent dearly, and I have defended it since I read them, so when HMH granted my wish to read this book in exchange for an honest review, I felt excited to read myself to sleep. When it comes to Chosen Ones, I was excited…
