![]() ![]() ![]() The end ruined this for me with the unnecessarry drama. ![]() The plot just dragged and the "love triangle" was too drawn out imo. Honestly 500+ pages were too much for this storyline. What in Casi Angeles when mar lost her memories and didn't recognize thiago is this plot? ![]() He tells her to make up her mind and when she does she'll find him.until she gets hit by a car, loses her baby(apparently she was pregnant) and doesn't remember the last few months. She gets angry at him tells him it's over goes back to Noah and tells him the truth. The other guy comes and professes his love saying it was not a mistake, he wants her back and kisses her. Then she meets Noah who was the biggest sweetheart, like literally he was so thoughful, patient, swoonworthy the perfect book bf and the only reason for my 2 star rating□□ they start as friends and then they fall in love. They have sex and then he says it was a mistake and leaves her. She's in love with her brother's best friend. It's bc the h's first in love with one guy whose name is CHASE and then falls in love with the H whose name is NOAH. I kept reading reviews and wondering why i can't find the H's name and when i got past the first 10 chapters i realized why is that. Since i haven't read one review mentioning this, let me tell you the premise of the story is in fact a FREAKING LOVE TRIANGLE. ![]() ![]() Overall, Colleen Hoover has become a beloved author in the contemporary romance and young adult genres, with a devoted fan base that eagerly anticipates each new release. ![]() The proceeds from The Bookworm Box are donated to various charities.

Colleen Hoover is a bestselling American author known for her romance and young adult novels. ![]() ![]() ![]() Beatlebone has an understated supernatural undercurrent that put me in mind of Arthur Machen and William Hope Hodgson. Its sixth chapter breaks the fourth wall, introducing the novelist himself researching his project, and in its obsessions with reclaiming a counter-cultural past and a kind of deranged reportage, it feels like an Irish take on Iain Sinclair’s psychogeography. The quick-fire and oblique dialogue, with its air of menace, recalls early plays of Harold Pinter, like The Birthday Party and The Caretaker. Since it’s a portrait of the artist as a middle-aged man, and given Barry’s own prose style, replete with “sea-bite’s hint-of-vulva”, “deathhauntedness” and “a silvering of the blood”, the spectre of James Joyce is never too distant. ![]() It’s a descent into madness like Malcolm Lowry’s Under The Volcano.

Now in truth I have come to be wise-woman, and a time may come when these things may need to be known. ![]() In my time I have been called many things: sister, lover, priestess, wise-woman, queen. ![]() The tome’s paperback cover was intriguing: a white swan a gold-hilted sword held aloft by an enrobed woman a handsome white steed, its hooves obscured in mist. Dalton’s bookstore, I discovered a tome – as thick as the Bible - which granted me access to a world I had theretofore never imagined existed.

His words failed him as silver lined his eyes. Rhys squeezed my hand as he looked to me at last. "My own power would have consumed me long ago."
