Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
I was attracted by the plot when I saw the plot in the bookstore, and the ratings were very high. I thought it was the truth and sweetness of perfect juggling love and the youthful inspirational and cute literature that seriously does royal children navigate identities & grow together.
The White House in Rick and Morty is more real than the White House here. I understand and support everything about political correctness and hope that Trump will die, but is this kind of childish plot really written by adults? When I watched House of Cards in middle school, I knew that politics is not a game of cards.
The plot includes the president and his ex-husband having a family dinner to discuss campaign strategy and quarreling. The first son collapsed because his parents often quarreled.
No one talked to him, so he called Prince Henry for an hour to talk about his feelings. (excuse me White House family affairs Alex’s heart Is there no point in forcing numbers? Your therapist should do a background check for a year, right?)
: The White House has a silly tradition of pardoning turkeys on Thanksgiving Day. Before the pardoning ceremony, the turkeys were placed in the hotel.
Our handsome 21-year-old president’s son heard about it and was indignant about “wasting taxpayers’ money” and insisted on putting the turkey in his room, Then I was too scared to sleep and called Prince Henry to promote the relationship.
I understand that all the plots are aimed at cultivating feelings, but really young adults (and it is set by a perfect genius) the country’s future red second generation is really not like this…intellectually challenged.
Don’t complain about the details, the children of high-ranking cadres will not go to state universities that are only attended by children from middle-class families with poor grades.
Children in the White House do not party and drink with singers and movie stars every day, let alone the children of several heads of state sneak into street KTVs and sing with ordinary people.
Please, not American spring break fling. The first two chapters are ambiguous (with an anticipation filter) and cute. I really can’t watch the latter part. I don’t want to watch two mentally handicapped high-ranking sons send emails every day with wordplay and no real troubles.
Treat politics seriously, it’s one thing to draw a reasonably imaginative picture & use it to vent because the reality is shitty, but another if you treat everything as a playhouse and write something childish that is too simple to watch the plot.
The takeaway from reading this book is to trust your intuition. It is not worth wasting time writing a book with a background that looks like a house at the beginning.
Beach Read’ by Emily Henry
Reread this book…. I truly love it because of how human it is. This book didn’t feel like me reading characters and their lives it felt like actual people, broken people who wanted to be fixed but didn’t know how they could possibly achieve it. It felt real. That’s the only way I can truly describe it.
The author did an amazing job of capturing who these people are and all the problems that they face. She captured how humans aren’t just good or bad or right or wrong there are flaws and layers to a person.
Things within someone that you will never truly know or understand and honestly.. that’s okay. What I took away from this book is we shouldn’t seek happily ever afters but be happy right now.
And Gus Everett let’s talk about him for a second. Never have I ever so far read a male character as complex and interesting as him. I feel like a lot of the time in romance the female is focused on most and the men are usually tied to the surface level.
Even if the men have dark pasts it’s only explored briefly and as soon as the female lead says one word to them all of a sudden they are cured. But Gus.. he’s different and that’s what I love about him.
I love it when writers write men as actual human beings with feelings and pain and people who aren’t cured with a few words or gestures. Life isn’t that easy and Gus and January’s life depicts that fully.
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
I am so sorry but I just don’t love this novel at all. It did make me feel there were nothing unbreakable connections between them, Olive and Ethan.
There wasn’t any wild, exclusive, and extreme love that I could feel from their getting-along story during the HONEYMOON (fake at the beginning, despite). I felt disappointed, truly am.
Still, I kinda of like it, but just the front 10 chapters. The plots were so hilarious which made me HAHAHAHAHAHA like I am SO SO hysterical at almost every part of these chapters.
But, there is always a BUT in our lives, especially when we read this one.
Seriously, the left fifty percent of the story was so cliché and made me feel suffocated. Seriously, was it written by another person?
About the what-Olive-did-to-protect-her-twin-sis Plot, HE didn’t believe HER AT AL, and being like a jerk to Olive made everything SO HEARTBREAKING.
How was that supposed to be like that, I just don’t get it. It doesn’t make any sense. Cuz as Ethan told Olive, he was so into her years ago and still has strong feelings for her.
(Aww…Are you kidding me? Are these the feelings you are having for her? WOW WOW WOW, that must be terrific ironic if you say so)
He didn’t choose to stand with her and gave her courage at all. He is so dumbed and treating her in a care-nothing-about-her-but-her-BOOBS way. HELL NOOO!!
(‼️I didn’t say I can’t accept SEXUAL SENSES, OPPOSITE I LOVE NOVELS WITH STEAMY SEX, but could you please write it In a comfortable, steamy-natural-description, and less awkward and oddly way??? Thank you so much!!) NOT TO MENTION, Ethan doesn’t help gazing eyes at his EX, are you serious?
And he even made everything worse cuz he had no clue about ‘why she seems feeling angry and hurt’ after ‘he can’t help thinking about his EX IN FRONT OF Oliver….This is just way too much for me to inhale and exhale easily when I read this part.
What made me feel harder to breathe, about everything that happened after they got home, (About exposing Dane’s Part) Ethan just made a simple apology after being an absolute jerk !!!
Ridiculously, the apology was accepted?!! and everything is forgotten and they will live happily ever after? COME ON, please!!! He was being an asshole, wasn’t he??
I just wanna ask, Why? An apology can erase everything that happened. No, it can’t, or I mean, this shouldn’t be the HEROINE I wish to see, forgiveness isn’t that easy sometimes.
Maybe I could still see a barely chance for Ethan, but it needed to take A LOT MORE than that. From what I can tell, Ethan doesn’t deserve Olive. He should be SOLO for at least 10 years maybe.
The Kiss Thief by L.J. Shen
“My absolute favorite L.J. Shen to date. Indulgent and addictive.” — USA Today Bestselling author RS Grey”This book will ruin you for all other books in 2019" — Bestselling author BB Easton From USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author L.J. Shen comes to an enemies-to-lovers romance with a twist…They say your first kiss should be earned.
Mine was stolen by a devil in a masquerade mask under the black Chicago sky. They say the vows you take on your wedding day are sacred. Mine were broken before we left the church.
They say your heart only beats for one man. Mine split and bled for two rivals who fought for it until the bitter end. I was promised to Angelo Bandini, the heir to one of the most powerful families in the Chicago Outfit.
Then taken by Senator Wolfe Keaton, who held my father’s sins over his head to force me into marriage. They say that all great love stories have happy endings.
I, Francesca Rossi, found myself erasing and rewriting mine until the very last chapter. One kiss.Two men.Three lives. Entwined together. And somewhere between these two men, I had to find myself forever.
Man Card by Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby
Nothing ventured, nothing banged. Asia still doesn’t know how it happened. One minute I was arguing with my arrogant competitor — our usual trash-talk over who deserves the larger commission.
But somehow I went from throwing down to kneeling down… It can never happen again. I don’t even like Braht. He’s too slick. He’s a manipulating mansplaining party boy in preppy clothes.
So why can’t I get him out of my head? There are two things I know without question. One: Ash and I are destined for each other. Two: never trust a man with a unibrow. Ash is missing my piece.
She’s the sweet cream to my gourmet espresso. And nothing gets me going faster than her contempt for me. They don’t call her the Ashkicker for nothing. Eventually, I’ll win her over…if my past doesn’t ruin everything first.
