review -
This was my first Formula 1 romance and it did not disappoint. Adrian!!! The man that you are!! I love me some good reformed playboy romance and this book served. Nevaeh and her passion for photography and journalism with her loving personality made her pov beautiful.  I can totally picture myself revisiting this story every now and then.
Other than Adrian (of course) my favorite element in this book was the mental health representation. As an anxious person myself, I felt seen and just the fact that she became so relatable at times made my heart full. If that's something that you enjoy in books, this one's for you.

Read if you like

Picked up this poetry collection and I can just say that I'm glad. The words were powerful, tackling everything from social justice to soul-searching.

"Blue and Grey" is not your average poetry collection – it's an enchanting blend of Classics, mythology, and current events blend into a timeless tapestry, creating a melody that lingers in your mind.

There were moments when I'd just close the book and stare into the ceiling going like "wait a min". If you're a reader, you know the feeling. It's addictive, emotional and often thought provoking.

I've annotated, actually wrote paragraphs about my own thoughts all around the book. The fact that you don't have to be very knowledgeable about poetry or the issues dealth within. The book simply flows and take you with her.

The poet crafts verses that read like a love letter to the world, blending social justice with personal introspection and a dash of mythology. You'd want to grab a metaphorical sword and join the quest for a better world, well I did.

In a nutshell, it's an emotional rollercoaster, steering through the twists and turns of the human experience. A little laughter, a little introspection and "world-changing" vibes, this collection is for you.

Looking forward for more <3
