Sun Sets in Singapore | Kehinde Fadipe
post image
Pickpick

Singapore is high up on my travel bucket list, so when I came across this title and read the synopsis it really intrigued me.

Wonderful debut! I recommend this book if you are looking for a read set in a fun, exotic place and with great take on women handling friendships, careers, relationships and complicated family dynamics.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Release Date: 10/31/23

I loved this memoir. Chin‘s writing, his amazing family, the Detroit backdrop, his struggles to find his place in the world really resonated with me.

Really recommend this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really wanted to like this book more, but it just felt flat for me in some parts. And it felt a tad bit too long.

3.5 ⭐️

Thank you again @Daisey 🙂

Daisey That‘s disappointing. It really sounded like an interesting story. 1mo
Amor4Libros @Daisey Yes, so disappointing! I‘ve read another book of hers and really liked it. 1mo

The Lookback Window: A Novel | Kyle Dillon Hertz

Pickpick

This was so heart-wrenching! This is a very descriptive book, so approach with caution.

I sometimes felt it was a little bit over the top, but it could also be that it was describing so much trauma that maybe it needed to be that way. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the most impactful memoir I‘ve read in a long time. It made me feel uncomfortable, shocked, sad, and at the end so in awe of the human spirit and the power of believing in yourself and forgiveness.

Please read this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I read the synopsis of this book it intrigued me so much. What a powerful story, loved how Daphne found herself and her voice throughout the story.

And the recipes in this book! Love how they were presented and I need to try a few (the salad!!).

This was very intense! I really enjoyed it and neglected all other books because I needed to know what happened.

That being said, I didn‘t love it completely because I kept waiting for at least one chapter with the female‘s POV…But that also could just be me wanting something that was not what the author wanted for the story that she chose to write 😅

I loved everything about this book! I've become interested in the tarot as of late and this book was the right book at the right time.

Remedios' transformation throughout the story was what kept me reading, and I was loving this book so much that I started another one just so that this one wouldn't end!

Remedios and Leonora's friendship was the perfect example of how there are some friends that become your soulmates.

“You have to betray yourself first in order for anyone else to betray you.”

This book was so gut-wrenching, so powerful and made me feel so many things that I‘m still processing at the moment.

One of my favorite reads so far this year! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.5⭐️ After reading and loving Acevedo‘s previous work, I went into this book with too many expectations. I saw where she was trying to take me with her story, but I just had a little bit of difficulty getting there.

That being said, I did have a good time with this book (will admit that some of the women‘s feelings REALLY resonated with me), and will continue to read anything she writes.
