Breaking Faith by E. Graziani - Spoiler Free Review

Hi there! I JUST finished Breaking Faith (literally 2 minutes ago), and I need to talk about it right this moment. So here's a review! 💗 Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5  Synopsis :  Faith Emily Hansen just wants to be loved and to live without the weight of addiction. But the lure of drugs is strong. The relief that she gets from being wrapped up in the cozy little cotton ball of heroin is impossible to ignore.  Faith’s story starts in her earliest days, before drugs, before her family falls apart. Before her mother leaves. Before her sister betrays her, taking away Faith’s last connection to home. She eventually becomes consumed by the need to “chase the dragon” – the heroin addiction that seems to keep the Darkness at bay, but leads her to live on the street. The determination to find love and comfort that lures Faith to drugs is ultimately the same stubborn force that can drive her to recover. 😦 Personal review : I. Loved. This. Book!!!!!!!! 💜 It was really interesting and I ...

We Were Liars E. Lockhart - Spoiler Free Review

Hi! ❤ OKAY GUYS. I finished a really popular book that has been on my shelves for like two years. We Were Liars was simply amazing and breathtaking. It was insane. Let's go on with the full spoiler free review! 😌 Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Synopsis :  A beautiful and distinguished family. A private island. A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy. A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive. A revolution. An accident. A secret. Lies upon lies. True love. The truth. Read it. And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE. Personal review : As you can see by the synopsis, it's a very mysterious and dark contemporary. It was extremely good and kept me on edge the whole time. This book keeps you guessing every time you get to the next page. It's also pretty heartbreaking. It deals with loss, accidents, mental health, family, love. AHH it was incredible. I'm at a loss of words because the ending made my jaw dropped. It kinda sucks becau...

Image
Hi! Today I decided that since my first ever rep term is almost over, I would talk about the shop before my job ends! 😚 ◀ The link to Tekisha's shop will be down below! ▶ The Burlap Butterfly... First of all, what a wonderful shop name! It just rolls of the tongue. Not only the name is great, but the shop owner is fantastic! Tekisha really made my first experience as a rep a total blast! I absolutely loved it! 😍 She is super kind and so much fun to chat with. She treated us with total respect and respected our schedules (like if we couldn't post for a couple of days, she was fine with it). I should also mention that my fellow reps from the rep team were absolutely amazing too! I'm so happy I made new friends through this experience. I'm going to add the links to their Instagram down below if you want to check them out! Here's a quick anecdote for you guys... There was a problem with my June rep package, so I actually never got it while everyone did. 😂 I j...

Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur - Spoiler Free Review

Image
Hello lovelies! Here I am with another book review, of course! 🙆 I read another poem novel from the wonderful Rupi Kaur, and I absolutely loved it! Keep reading to read my full opinion❗ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5  Synopsis:  milk and honey  is a collection of poetry and prose about survival. It is about the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femininity. It is split into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose, deals with a different pain, heals a different heartache.  milk and honey  takes readers through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them because there is sweetness everywhere if you are just willing to look. 🐝🍯 Personal review: I freaking loved this so much! I didn't think I was a poetry kind of girl, but oh my was I wrong! I have to be honest, I liked The Sun And Her Flowers more, but this one was still pretty awesome! It deals with serious topics, so I would not recommend if you are a very s...

Hello everyone! I recently finished Shadow And Bone by Leigh Bardugo and I am so excited to write a review about it! Here it goes... 💥 Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (so freaking amazing guys) Synopsis :  Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh.

Ancestry and honoring one’s roots. Expatriation and rising up to find a home within yourself. this is the recipe of life said my mother as she held me in her arms as i wept think of those flowers you plant in the garden each year they will teach you that people too must wilt fall root rise in order to bloom Personal review : You guys. I dont know why I waited so long to read this book. Maybe it's because I never really was a poetry kind of girl but now I am. Well maybe I always was and never gave it a shot 😂 Anyways, this book felt so real, I can't even explain it. I'm going through the process of healing, but not Kaur's kind of healing. In this book, she is healing from a breakup, and I'm healing in general. But st...
