Heiress of Roses by Asia Monet
slow-paced
2.5
I just want to say that I was looking forward to reading this book because I thought Dante and Lexie was interesting in book 1. I did not really feel their connection in this book and I wish I had that connection to them. I just felt like it was a disconnect between the characters. I felt so bad for Dante because of how trash his father was in the book. I feel like Dante suffered so much physical abuse and I just wanted him to stand up alittle more because he was an easy going person. Overall I really wanted to like the couple but I feel like book 1 had my favorite couple.
Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness by Da’Shaun Harrison
informative
medium-paced
4.0
I tasked myself with trying to unlearned all of the harm things I was exposed to growing about body image and sexuality. This book really help me reflect on all of the anti-blackness that happen within my own community growing up in a black household. Growing up my relationship with food was different especially how my parents feed into diet culture and attractiveness base on weight. I am so happy I took the time to read this book and got a better understanding how anti-fatness and anti-blackness play a role in some of the language I used in the past. I look forward to reading more books like this and unlearn more harmful things. This book is go needed and appreciated.

Figure of Speech by Kasha Thompson
medium-paced
3.5
This book was really cute and I like Clover and Teddy. I understand that Teddy was the press secretary and her career is really important to her before she got involved the President Teddy. I love the banter between the two characters the spice. I do feel that when Teddy called her the B word when she handed in her resignation because people was calling her a hoe and talking about her kind of made me side eye him. Plus he did not communicated he was hurt and said some negative things when they made up. I feel like Teddy apologize for her part and he did not acknowledge the position she was in regarding her career and her reputation. Overall sold read.

The Scent of Jasmine by Keira N. James
2.5
This book is my first read by this author and a BOOKCLUB pick for the month. This thriller book was very interesting especially dealing with the bestfriends in this book. I do wish I could have alittle bit more history with the friendship between Jasmine and Kimmie . I feel like Jasmine was wrong to be with her ex-bestfriend brother. Overall solid thriller book. I love the fact that Kimmie made Jasmine life hell. I feel like the part when Kimmie was using Toine had me asking questions.
Cash, Chaos, and Carnage: The Chaos Sisters by Wynta Tyme
3.0
This book was face pace and the sisters did not play any games in this book. This is my second read by Wynta Tyme and this book was very different from other books I read this month. This book is a BOOKCLUB read so I am looking forward to the discussion regarding the characters and the different things happening in this book. I wish this book was alittle longer so I could have more information regarding the characters however, overall solid read.
Revive Me, Part Three: The Apology by J.L. Seegars
slow-paced
4.0
I just want to say after the part two I decided to wait to read part three when I was ready to read how Chris and Mallory story to end. I really enjoyed this story and the fact that Chris and Mallory finally got the happy ever after. I feel like I would have folded with Chris within the first 14% of the book but I was happy that Mallory did not make it easy for him. I was happy Chris father got what he deserved for being a trash father. I was happy that Chris got to get the closure with his mother and his mother was able to help take his father down. I do feel like dragged alittle and the pace picked up towards the end however, I would recommend this book for all my book friends that love second chance romance. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series.
Wait For U by Shvonne Latrice
medium-paced
3.0
First I like to say that I tried to read this book three times because I am an extreme mood reader. I feel like the main couple deserved eachother from the beginning. I enjoyed the drama in this book and I feel like I did see the change in Kari in this book. I feel like I saw the change in him because Couture started moving just like him in this book with the cheating on his fiancé. Leland, Kea, and Marley were delusional and didn’t read the room at all. I never read a book where I felt like the couple deserved to be with eachother away from everybody else.
