Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
4.0
F-ING FINALLY finished.
Took me a GOOD chunk of time during the busy holidays to finish this but it was great! 4/5 because of how incredibly detailed some parts were that it took me so long to get through. I had watched the movie many times and this story is one of my favorites ever. Still don’t like how he kills Quilty and the book didn’t mention that Lolita dies in childbirth or that H. H is executed but still liked it!
Many people miss the entire idea of this book and the message it provides. I have the 50th Anniversary Edition so I don’t if this is included in other copies but DON’T SKIP THE FOREWORD, IT IS THERE FOR A REASON. If you don’t read it and then hate the book, it’s because you skipped it!

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

ABSOLUTELY REVITALIZED.
Co Ho has done it again. I cried, laughed, and fucking died a million times over in this novel. Fuck Ryle. Shoutout to Atlas. FUCK Katie. And literally fuck anyone who hates this book because OH MY JEEZ.
100/10. I will spend all of 2022 looking to feel this way about a book. Happy almost New Years to me.

You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

This book genuinely made me laugh so much! The chemistry between the characters was ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING and made me feel like it was ME in the story.
Sad that Naomi wasn’t pregnant in the end or that we didn’t get to find out how they told Debberonni that they eloped. Still such a good read.
The sweet moments made me think about my relationship and how much I love my boyfriend. Nicholas was so like him in some ways and it made the story more pleasant :)

One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid

SUPER EPIC.
Love the concept and the execution. This book has solidified my desire to read “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo”! Also, WHAT A BOOK to follow up “It Ends With Us” on my reading list.
The fact that she chose Sam was a relief and it was honestly the choice I was basing my review on. I think it’s more realistic and it did end a little short but I liked the flash forward!
This book had me wrapped around it’s little finger and that was perfectly fine with me.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

WOW.
All the stories were great! Didn’t love the writing style and it was tough sometimes to understand what had happened. The plots were AMAZING though and I love how everyone who traveled back learned something in addition to what they went back in time for.
“Husband and Wife” and “The Sisters” made me cry the most. Kohtake and Kumi were beautiful characters. The heart-wrenching realizations made me realize I take lots of things for granted in my life.
