Reviewed: 12-09-24

I loved everything about this book, including the narration. I found myself smiling at some of those super cute moments and really connecting with the characters. yes, this is the quintessential enemy to friends, well actually, enemy to friends to fake lovers to real lovers, but it's got that something extra!

Bailed After Chapter 5

Reviewed: 07-20-20

With all of the great reviews, I just knew this would be entertaining. Mind you I only made it up to half of chapter 5, but I couldn't take it anymore. Even her animation couldn't sustain my interest. The book talks about buying extravagant purses, clothes not fitting and details family members that aren't even prominent in her book for filler. I just can't with this.
Maybe I can swap this for something else.

***SPOILER ALERT***

Reviewed: 06-14-20

Down-trodden black mother scrounges up enough money to vacation in the Bahamas. On her final walk on a secluded beach, she meets a supposed photographer who she has an afternoon of passion after an impromptu photoshoot with him.
Turns out dude is a millionaire photographer that wants to move her into his apartment and use her as the face of the season’s clothing line. She ends up bringing her sweet but destructive daughter with her and she destroys an expensive carpet and is upset by his anger at its expense.
Lacking self-respect, she stays and starts thinking about how nice it would be to bond because surprise, surprise she starts to wonder what she’d do without him. *eye roll*
Guess who ends up pregnant… and spends the rest of the book complaining that he doesn't love her and doesn't know where they stand. Chick, you trapped him!
This book is filled with nothing but stereotypes and the female lead wreaks of desperation. The author even had her sister congratulate her on trapping him.

This book is terrible.

Side note (BMWW Romance Series, Book 2): I listened to “What happens in Italy” by Kendra Riley; it wasn’t much better. The heroine is a successful personal trainer with body issues much like this one, who gets accidentally knocked up by a billionaire while on vacation in Italy.

Seriously, do these writers think we can only get men of value by trapping them??

I should’ve just read the reviews...

The ONLY reason I finished the book was because I wanted to know what happened with Gabrielle and Javier; but it wasn’t worth it. Probably about 70% of her book was text messages and her writing and vocabulary are extremely limited. I swear the main words she used to describe things are amazing, delicious, finally, epic and deep, oh, and she uses literally A LOT. Everyone’s reactions end up being jaw-dropping, everyone dies of laughter or cracks up and everyone thinks she is amazing and incredibly strong.
The book is a shallow and tawdry version of Eat, Pray, Love without really attempting to truly self-reflect or be by herself; though she claims to have succeeded in doing just that. In order to appear to give her book value, she added “thought onions” which breaks down her thoughts from superficial to subconscious. This would have been somewhat inciteful if she didn’t continue to have the same realizations as if it was new every time, sleep with any guy that shows her interest during the trip while saying she doesn’t want to and then bitching that Javier hadn’t called her after her one-night stands. It just ended up being annoying. She never actually worked on herself, but while waiting for her final flight she had an epiphany and learned to love herself. That love allowed her to give her audience the advice of making yourself a “self-love” cocktail. Basically, do what makes you feel happy and healthy as often as possible. It was very profound.

great book, but why no PDF?

I found this to be an amazing book and her vocal performance was pleasing. my only qualm with this audio book is that you still have to purchase a copy of the book in order to get the exercises in the back of the book.
Other than that, I'm happy! And I bought the paperback.

Found it to be lacking...

Just buy and read the book! It takes a while to get over her voice. This book has a lot of exercises and unless you want to be an avid note taker you will end up like me and buy the book to finish the assignments. There is no PDF to go with this book.
