A Heartfelt Journey in Time: A Review of Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5 / 5.0) Review: Why I Picked It Up: I picked up Before the Coffee Gets Cold during a spontaneous visit to a bookstore in India. I stumbled upon a colorful set with four books, each one with a different title and a unique color, yet all of them incredibly appealing. At the time, the final book in the series hadn't been released yet, so I still need to complete my collection. I thought it would be a great idea to start reviewing the first part. Since each book was released in a different year with decent gaps between them, I plan to review each book independently. What I Like About the Book: The beauty of this book lies in its simplicity—using simple words to convey incredibly deep emotions and scenes. It’s the kind of honesty that makes this book stand out. There is one paragraph that I particularly love, which I’d like to share here (avoiding any spoilers): " Water flows from high places to low places. That is the nature of gravity. Emotions also seem to a...

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover: A Review of Love and Betrayal

Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.7 / 5.0) Review : ** spoiler alert ** Why I Picked it Up : I picked up a Colleen Hoover after so long. Almost two years after I read "It Ends With Us". The first book moved me a lot and the way it spoke about domestic violence . A story that is sort of an open secret in the world yet often feels like there's nothing we can do about it. I recently watched the movie version of "It Ends with us" but it turned out to be disappointing. But that sparked something in me, and I realized it had been too long since I picked up another one of her books. So, Regretting You was my choice, and I had high hopes for a similar emotional depth. What I like about the book : I like the way Colleen reflected on the mother-daughter relationship - especially when it involves a teenager and their circumstances are so flawed. I also enjoyed how Hoover backed up Romantic feelings between Morgan and Jonah through a backstory. It kind of made me revisit few of my ...

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover: Heartfelt Review of Emotional Turmoil

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3.3 / 5.0) Review: ***Spoiler Alert*** Why I Picked It Up: After watching the movie adaptation of "It Ends With Us", I realized I hadn't read Hoover's work in a long time. That’s when I bought a set on Amazon that included " Regretting You ", "Ugly Love", and "Reminders of Him". I started reading in that order, and right now I'm on "Reminders of Him". What I Like About the Book: I personally liked the storyline. For some reason, I was more drawn to Miles than Tate (though I’m not defending his actions at all). I appreciated the writing style and felt a connection to the bond between Corbin, Miles, and Tate. I liked that the author kept it realistic—she didn't make Corbin easily accept the relationship between Miles and Tate just because he had a casual attitude toward his own relationships. This kind of hypocrisy is something we often see in the real world. And honestly, I would have been frustrated if Co...
