About Charlie By JM Langan

Image
Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. About Charlie is a contemporary genre. The story about Emma, who loses her husband Charlie to cancer and becomes a drug addict. The story set in the 1990s in London. There are plenty of themes in the book, which are loss, love, addiction, friends, and grief. I found this to be a very deep read and it took me a few days to read this book due to me not wanting to rush this book and take in everything that was going on with the characters. About Charlie is a fascinating read that gave me insight into Emma Grief and her addiction due to her loss. I felt for her so much and her journey trying to get clean and a world without her husband. I also felt for her friend Jason, who was trying to help Emma but knew he could no longer give her the care she needed because she needed proper help. That must be hard for Jason. I liked the art side of the story which flows through the book. The story is written exceedingly...

Not My Country by A.E Dean

Thank you @zooloosBT for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Not my Country is an entirely different read, to what I would normally pick, but I am glad I read it because it is relevant to some of the issues we face in the world at the present. This is a fascinating read, and I read in one day. There are two narratives in the book. Louise, who is 70 years old who not feeling the best, decides to take one more road trip where she falls upon Adam, who in his twenties and is not from the UK and is trying to get back home. Not my country is written exceptionally well that hooks the reading in and the author A.E Dean has done her research very well on this topic. I liked both characters and my heart went out to them both and made me think about the world we are in and the people out there that are immigrants and are struggling at present. This is an eye-opening read that will pull at your heart. 4 stars. A.E’s Bio ‘A life spent living and working in the multicultural ...

The Guests by Adriane Leigh

Image
Thank you @zoolooBT for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Guests is psychological thriller and has a gorgeous front cover . The story has six narratives that each have turn for you to getting to know them and them all telling you there side of the story. There's Cole who lives in the area where the guest are staying, Ryleigh is artist but is struggling and Kerrigan her best friend offers her to stay at her private family island. Kerrigan is housewife and has a great life. Then there's Kip and Daniel. I found the first few chapters a bit hard to get into but after that I was off and could not put The Guests down. There is a great amount of suspension and tension running through the book. There are some good twists and turns that I had no clue they were going to happen. I did feel like I was on roll coaster reading this book because there was so much going on that gripped me and didn't know what would happen next. I liked the characters I t...

This is a romance genre and the story about Thea who dedicated her life to her career as being a lawyer. Then the senior partner dies and Thea realizes that they are not his friend they are just there because they have to be, and then her life starts to change. This is a wonderful and feel good read that you will enjoy reading till the end as I did. I like the characters in the book and how Thea has lovely friends that support her and it's so good when you have this. I thought this was lovely and reminded me of my friends. Furthermore, I thought Theas was so brave due to her realising it was time to make a big change in her life . Likewise, I hope one day I can be as brave as her. A lovely read that is written exceedingly well and is at good pace to keep up with. Engaging read 5 stars. Thea Rogers has dedica...
