    The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue | Mini Book Review

    REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Genre: Historical Fantasy, FictionThemes: Fantasy, Historical, Romance I really enjoyed “The Invisible Life of Addie Larue”. I kept seeing great reviews but I also heard it had a slower pace. It’s true, this is a really slow burn. BUT Enjoyably slow and so worth it.  Addie Larue lives invisibly for 300 years because of a deal she makes with…

    Mexican Gothic By Silvia Moreno-Garcia | Mini Book Review

    BOOK REVIEW: Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia — I am obsessed and I completely recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I really enjoyed “Mexican Gothic”. I was obsessed and kept telling myself I’d read just one more chapter but then couldn’t put it down. It was haunting and full of gothic goodness. This story takes place in the 1950s in Mexico. The main…

    You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

    This book kept popping up in my feed with good reviews and I liked that this was a Latine/x story written by a Latina author. I wasn’t too sure what I was getting into beforehand, to be honest. Romance is just fun sometimes; that’s really what I would say about this story-it’s fun and It’s hot. (read: get your Tinder…

I want to be real about the reality of my life rig I want to be real about the reality of my life right now. It’s hard but good.

I am dealing with weird health things, four classes in my last semester, a new job, copywriting projects/clients, building my personal brand-collabs, content creation, book reviews.

I’m also in limbo due to leaving Colorado last minute/ unexpectedly due to my health. I like to do things on my own & I don’t like asking for help; it got to the point where I needed family support. 

So, I’m not in my own space yet. We are house hunting but also trying to decide if we want to stay in AZ long term.

I don’t know that I’ll stay in AZ or where Camron and I will go next. And soooo it’s a lot. But posting on here, connecting with you about books and or student life helps. 💕

And ultimately I do love everything I’m doing—it’s just busy and hard sometimes.

So there’s a bit of insight into my life but also a bit of motivation—you can do hard things, you can reach your goals, the time will go by regardless. ❤️

What are some goals that you have for this month?

My biggest goal is to become a pro at time management—I’m time blocking on my Google calendar & I’m actually really liking it!

My second goal is just to feel strong again—so I’m working on fitness programming that will help me increase strength.

Lastly, I’m just hoping to read more books. I only read two last month, which is fine, but I’m looking forward to so many books that hopefully I’ll be able to read more.

Tell me what you’ll be working on! 👇🏽

Book Review: A Proposal They Can’t Refuse by Nat Book Review: A Proposal They Can’t Refuse by Natalie Caña

Genre: Romance / RomCom

Kamilah and Liam are blackmailed by their prankster grandfathers into getting engaged. Though they’ve been enemies for years, they give in to save their family businesses—they just hope they can get out of the engagement before they have to follow through with the marriage. 

Themes & Tropes:
🇵🇷Puerto Rican food & Irish whiskey.
🇮🇪Friends to Enemies to Lovers
🇵🇷Second Chance
🇮🇪Matchmaking grandfathers
🇵🇷Fake Dating/Engagement 

// Other thoughts:

I kind of wanted more explanation into what happened between Kamilah and Liam that turned them into enemies. Very minor criticism as we do ultimately know what happened. 

🌶 Ok, because I heard multiple times that this book was closed door or fade to black (which I don’t really agree with) I did not expect some of the moments and lines. Caña proves that we don’t need explicit sex scenes in romance books to make the book great (or hot). 
🔥The chemistry and tension between the characters is perfection!

Have you read it? Let’s discuss 👇🏽
For spoiler filled discussion, send me a DM.
