Book review: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved the depiction of Asperger's syndrome. That's the only reason I read it all in one sitting. There was a bit of repetition of the issues on both sides but eventually it was good. I liked it more till the 95% part. The end was a bit flat. But the book itself had lots and lots of fireworks. A good read in all. Very beautiful and relatable writing.

Spicy scale: 5

Book review: Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez

Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

At 35% of the book. Part of your world.
I knew it was going to be good because Abby Jimenez didn't disappoint in her writing style in Yours Truly. I wanted to know the story of Alexis from book 2. I knew they would end up together but I wanted to see the journey. After just finishing chapter 35 of Daniel's POV I literally cried like anything. The way Abby portrays the emotions is always a shipwreck inside me, the rawness, the relatability. Everything is so beautiful. The characters, even the side ones are so wholesome. This is a 5 star one, just gonna read up the rest and be back soon.

It was a feel good book. Just like the second part of this, the handling of everything related to family drama was beautiful. Aptly wrapped and concluded. I am in love with Abby now. Gonna read the third part as well. She has calmness in her work. Especially the men she writes about. They are green forests instead of just flags.

Book review: To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ofcourse I read the book because I have already seen the movie and ofcourse I love the movies.
The writing is so pretty, so relatable and this book has such a warm fuzzy feeling of thick socks in the peak of winters. I loved the narration and the Easter eggs of Ms. Rothschild and John Ambrose McLaren. And I didn't know the book would end at this point. Onto the next one of course now.

Book review: Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams

Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Okay. This female protagonist is suffering from social anxiety and I am hooked. Chapter 1 was good enough to reel me in. I am gonna love it , I can feel it. Bring it on Sarah Adams!

At 7% of the book:
Awww she's clumsy. I love it more and more.

At 53% of the book:
So far I like their chemistry. Annie the angel is kinda repetitive and his denial is too. But the chemistry is good. I like the characters of Annie and Will. So far. And this entire chapter is on a kiss or an extensive makeout session. That was really... Something out of the pirate novels that Annie so loves. Fingers crossed.

At 73% of the book:
I like the honest conversations that they had about what they want from life but I am having a hard time reeling in the feeling that their actions are falling all over the place. I mean, yes of course that's how we are in real life, not set in stone about how we are supposed to be, but at the same time in a book we usually expect for the character arc to start from somewhere and go somewhere entirely different. But here I am somewhat unconvinced about their actions and reactions. Let's see, what happens further.

At 100% of the book:
It was fine. But I am not that convinced. Yeah, she's an introvert, yes I connected with her but the rant going on about the same things gave me a headache and wanted it to end about the third time she mentioned she was not 'angel Annie'. I'll give it 3 stars. Fell kinda flat after the first half.
