A Bollywood Affair by Sonali Dev

There were so many things I adored about this book.  I ate it up in 2 days I was rooting for Mili the whole way through.  I don’t think she ever really
Got the respect she deserved & it was hard reading about purity culture and accepting Samir as her love interest after I thought he messed up far beyond what is forgivable.  At the end of the day, I usually don’t love romance novels but I really liked this! 

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Quick read, sad & triggering, didn’t love this- it kind of felt like a ghost of Christmas past type plot that went on way too long.  No pearls of wisdom or anything but enjoyable to see what would happen
