The Sweetest Oblivion by Danielle Lori

1.0

The discussion on rape was weird. Totally didn't vibe with it at all. Elena's character just isn't doing it for me, you feel me??? I just don't get the "Sweet Abelli" vibe she's supposed to have

What a beautiful story. It begins with lies and ends with bittersweet truths.

I absolutely loved this book <3 the characters and plot twists were incredible. It was a hell of a ride. The world building was extremely realistic. Kesian sangat dekat Airis terpaksa lepaskan Rian demi Mirza. Dia dah jaga Rian dari dulu and his love is unrequited. 🥹🤍 hmm. But most importantly this book was worth it and deserves a lot of recognition. I trulyyy hope author akan buat buku untuk Airis in the future. He deserves the world (and me) I AM ON MY KNEES PLS.

The way she ignored Lulit's warnings about getting into an affair with a twenty yrs old was truly a reckless act. Despite knowing full well that the relationship would jeopardise her daughter's future, she went forward with it regardless.

The intimate and taboo nature of their relationship drives the plot and adds intensity to the story. It almost feels as if the book is written by a fan who is over thirty and fantasising about dating a member of a boy band. In fact, it reminds me so much of 1D and Harry. I'm so embarrassed for Soléne.

Let me just be honest here, 425 pages is not enough. Yaya deserves to rot in hell for being a manipulator. Jamie has every right to tell the world how terrible she is. Redemption is not what it is. Tapi faham lah, both are matured. As for Sameera and Haque—no comment. He's the biggest jerk ever. Poor Samee because she was mistaken for Mirah when they first met.

P/S: I couldn't really picture the characters outside of the words written on the page sebab tengah layan tv series dia currently 😂 I might come back to it later for a more vivid reread!!

I think the author is into the characteristic of an alpha male a bit too much? Terlalu banyak scene yang mentioned dia seorang alpha, and it annoyed me so much. Okay that's the another story. The comedy; too much. Berloyar buruk sangat. Bosan. Terfikir waktu genting tu kenapa si Hazel ni berlagak biasa. Most women would've been so terrified lelagi bila lelaki datang dekat.

Plus, character Hilman had so much potential at the first few chapters 🙂 tapi Idk why author cam ruined his character. Bland gila doh. Seriously. Penulisannya, gosh... Stress aku nok nak cakap.

Once upon a time, I hadn’t believed in love. Now, I realize that love was the last piece that’d been missing in the puzzle of my life. With it, I was finally whole.

The spin off of the series that WOULD show you how these military men do their work behind the scenes. Aduhh in love teruk makkkk. In love lagi dengan qadr tak habis lagiiii. Haihhh (๑♡⌓♡๑)

Sejujurnya tak puas dengan love story diorang. 60% focus pada drama mak tiri johanees. 20% the reunion of the father and daughter. 20% taufiq & johanees. Like???? 😭😭 KENAPA TAK ADA KEHIDUPAN AFTER NIKAHHH SEBAB TERLALU AWAL TAUFIQ KENA TINGGAL JOHANEES.

TAPI TAPI TAPI!!!!! Taufiq ni gentleman teruk ye gais 🥰🥰 reader baca pun memblushing macam kena sampuk 🥰🥰🥰 banyak sangat quotes dia kat notesssss sebabbbb dia cuteeee aaaaaaaa nak kawennnn

I didn't expected it would be this dense. Boring even. The plot holes especially. Mana ayah Teratai?? None. Dari awal sampai akhir tak ada. And the redemption for Mia? JAILLL. 💀 banyak yang tak menyerlah actually. It's like, Ziyad and Nur was forced to be together (in this story) I didn't feel the chemistry like I did with LailatulQadr.

I know it's a good book if it makes my heart wrenched sampai sesak dada (no. I'm not joking) 😌 

"Siang milik Allah. Malam milik Allah. Hujan ribut petir segala, semua milik Dia. Kita milik Allah. Lai milik Allah..." Wajahnya didekatkan ke telinga isterinya. "Abang milik sayang."

Qadr ialah lelaki yang setiap waniter mahukan pada their men. WEH PLSSSS. TAK BOLEH MOVE ON. This. The tiktok sensation, made me attracted sebab nama diorang. Lailatul Qadr. Cantik. Plot pun tak cliché. Plot twist sampai tiga kali 😭😭 so far I enjoyed, and looooved it sangat. Sampai nak nangis nak habiskan. 

Actually I terskipped the first one and terus jumped to SUA sebab tak buat research trilogy ni sebab tak menyabor asyik masuk fyp je kannnn. Tapi I've bought the combo so boleh start TUA esok :3 !!!!!
