Review: The Naturals

The Naturals The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gripping read, light and fun!! I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a cozy (? I couldn't think of any other word, but what I mean to say is I didn't particularly find many gruesome themes - with a few exceptions) true-crime serial killer mystery, but especially to people invested in studying psychology or even remotely interested in behavioral analysis. And this one's for the nerds too, like you and me.

Review: The Wedding People

The Wedding People by Alison Espach My rating: 5 of 5 stars This just might be the most humorous, captivating, intelligent, heartwarming book I've ever set my eyes upon. I'm in awe with the reading experience I'm fortunate to have had while reading it. I recommend it for anyone who's going through a hard time and needs a real change of perspective in life, or even someone who just wishes to have a fun little read with 'change for the better' vibes. It's also really funny, had to audibly giggle at certain parts. Overall, I absolutely adore it and I've never read something like this before. View all my reviews

I cannot express the vehement frustration I felt reading about how her husband was insanely handsome, to such an extreme that she was used to women flirting with him, or how ill their financial condition was and the way they couldn't afford a thing, OR how everyone was just so tensed about her blood pressure problem. Second, I don't like how Millie has been dethroned from the title as the main character of the series, because why is Enzo the hero all of a sudden? It's like she no longer has her own life without involving Enzo in everything now just because she's married to him, and it kills me because this read was supposed to be women-centric fiction or as tagge...

Review: The Boyfriend

The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wow. I loved the plot and also was awe-struck by 'how I did not see it coming'. AT ALL. This one did not disappoint. The only part that might have bothered me is the ending, drawing attention to the mystery behind Tom's cognitive ability. His mind and psychological patterns seemed to be inconsistent through course of time, and this fact is entirely credited to his unhealthy love and attachment towards Daisy. Somewhere, it bothers me because this turns him into not the person he was in his childhood, who only did what he had to, to protect himself and his mother; but someone entirely different, a serial killer's lover and partner-in-crime. And it bothers me how even after all this, he renders his actions morally correct. What he did to his father was inevitable and necessary to some extent. But I can't see the motive behind him getting involved with the Kevin thing. It was so...
