Book Review Of My Recent Reads

Growing up, I used to read alllll the time. Somewhere along the way, I stopped feeling passionate about reading and my love for it slowly started to fade away. That was until a couple of years ago when my mother-in-law recommended I read the book “The Pact”. So I decided to buy it and read it while we were in Cabo, because what the heck else were Steve and I going to do for a week by the pool lol? I ended up LOVING the book and ever since then, my love for reading has been ignited again. Over the past couple years I have read quite a few really good books that I thought I would share with all of you in case you’re in need of some recommendations! Here are 10 books that I’ve read recently, that I am going to review and give my 2 cents on (without giving any spoilers)! If you end up liking this blog I will do a part 2 as I continue to read new books!!

Side note: I read all of my books on my Kindle Oasis and I absolutely LOVE it!! It took me so long to purchase a Kindle because I always said I liked being able to hold a physical book but the Kindle is seriously amazing, I wish I would have gotten it sooner!! The screen is “paper-white” so it doesn’t hurt your eyes and you can turn the brightness up/down so its easy to read in bed at night, by the pool in the sun, etc. HIGHLY recommend!!

Title: The Pact
Rating: 10/10
Review: Obviously since this is the book that got me back into reading, I’m gonna give it a perfect score. It brings you through a wild ride of a love and death, and I cried many many times. Very sweet but also leaves you wondering what the heck happened until the veryyyy end. I think I need to read this again asap actually. 

Title:The Silent Patient
Rating: 2/10
Review: I know… are you screaming at me right now lol? This book is soooo highly recommended but I just did not love it. It didn’t really keep my attention and I thought the plot was a bit boring. I will say the plot twists are really good though!

Title: The Perfect Couple
Rating: 9/10
Review: LOVED this one. It has it allll baby. The plot twists are super fun and I loved the characters.

Title: Every Summer After
Rating: 9/10
Review: This is an easy read and SUCH a beautiful love story oh my gosh. Highly recommend this one!!

Title: It Ends With Us
Rating: 7/10
Review: This book is full of emotions…a book of tragedy but also romance. I liked it! It’s also being made into a movie so you should definitely read it before that comes out!!
Side note, I wouldn’t read the next book “It Starts With Us”. I didn’t think it was nearly as good as the first one!

Title: One Italian Summer
Rating: 8/10
Review: A beautiful light-hearted story that just made my heart so happy. It will 100% make you want to be in Italy like yesterday. Also will want to make you call your mom!!

Title: Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Rating: 10/10
Review: This book is 100% worth the hype. I’m telling you, you will love it!! Definitely predictable but dang it’s fabulous.

Title: People We Meet On Vacation
Rating: 3/10
Review: People love this book so much but I don’t get the hype! Was a nice easy read but to me, that was all. 

Title: November 9
Rating: 4/10
Review: I love Colleen but this was my least fave of hers! I just didn’t love the characters and wasn’t a huge fan of the plot overall.

Title: Reminders of Him
Rating: 10/10
Review: I. Love. This. Colleen. Book. My favorite of hers!! Obsessed with the characters and the story keeps you pulled in the whole time. All of her books are definitely a rollercoaster of emotions, so be prepared to shed a tear or two.

While writing this I’m realizing that book reviews are hard because you don’t want to spoil it for others! So writing my reviews about them was a little tough without giving anything away lol. But at least I rated them for you so you know which ones are worth the read in case you wanted to give some a try!! Hope you enjoyed this and I’ll see you next week.

XOXO, TAY
