A moving, heart wrenching and thought-provoking story. The main premise of the story is a young woman's decision to undergo an abortion after accidentally ending up pregnant. Being a naive young girl who is on the road to being a successful actor, she is scared of being judged harshly by society, her friends and most of all her family. It is indeed very sad that a woman bears the brunt of isolation and harsh criticism if she decides to end her pregnancy. The man, however, ends up unscathed without a sense of responsibility. Religious barriers and fear invoked by those who oppose abortion often harrass women and add to the trauma women endure. This book has the ability to make readers realize how emotionally shattering and difficult it is to be a woman who is pregnant and alone, with no support from closed friends. This is a must read for teenagers, women and men as well. This should be compulsory reading for students, teachers and parents. #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaddiction #booklove #booklover #bookworm #booknerd #bookninja #bookdragon #booklioness #bookenchantress #bookenthusiast #bookbabe #bookdiva #booklady #bookboss #bookmama #bookwoman #bestreads2019 #girlsontheverge #sharonbiggswaller #youngadultbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw14HADn32b/?igshid=umn9rdpewhvh

A fascinating book on love and relationships. This book is divided into 3 parts: For the woman, for the man and for both men and women. Part 1 puts the woman to lift her standards and settle for nothing less from a man, Part 2 is directed towards men on how to raise yourself up to that standard and Part 3 touches more on how to maintain the intimacy between both partners. Some of the words are basic informative guidelines on handling a relationship and not settling for less than you deserve. It is the writing of the author which deeply touched my soul and echoed the sentiments I have experienced myself. A greatly enchanting book. @kusoma_digital #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaddiction #booklove #booklover #booknerd #bookninja #bookdragon #bookworm #booklady #bookbabe #bookboss #bookenthusiast #bookenchantress #reflectionsofaman @mr.amarisoul (at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Ti-PXAJ_R/?igshid=1n413wdymq4nh

Delightful, amusing, & captivating!!!! THE BOOKISH LIFE OF NINA HILL by ABBI WAXMAN is an engaging, exciting, and cheerful story that perfectly portrays the life a bookworm and booklover.

She did not completely abandon Nina and loved her in her own unique way. Nina works in a bookstore and is a master in trivia.

This was my first Kimberly Belle book and I could not put the book down. I was engrossed into the story and the story is still reeling on my mind. I am having a serious book hangover this one!!!!! Beth Murphy is on the run from her abusive husband. She knows he is coming after her. It is only a matter of time before he finds her. Sabine Hardison is also missing. Her life is far from perfect. She has a successful job as a Real Estate professional. She has just moved into an expensive house and is happily married. Well, is she? Everyone else would say she is but her husband is a controlling maniac who is violent and envious of her success. He has an inferiority complex over Sabine often hurting her to prove his manhood. Marcus, the investigating Detective will stop at nothing track Sabine and close this matter once and for all. The story is narrated in three different perspectives. Dear Wife is full of secrets, lies, suspense and a whole lot of tension that kept me turning the pages. I would never have been able to sleep until I has turned the last page in the book. A perfect thriller. #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaddiction #booklovers #booklove #booklover #booknerd #bookninja #bookdragon #booklioness #bookworm #bookenchantress #bookenthusiast #bookmama #bookboss #bookwoman #bookbabe #bookdiva #bestreads2019 #dearwife #kimberleylee (at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BlGbOgalg/?igshid=5vfz5g2nhcvf

Claire Lombardo's debut novel is a poignant story following the Sorenson family, consisting of Marilyn and David (the parents), and their four daughters, Wendy, Violet, Liza, and Grace. Each character has a unique personality, distinct and connected, and their actions collectively impact the family over the years. Marilyn and David are bound together by unparalleled love for each other. Marilyn sacrifices her career, leaving her studies midway, in order to care for her growing family. The story is narrated from two alternate timelines. The first is of the past where we follow Marilyn as a newly wedded wife and a new mother. The second is of the present time where we are introduced to the lives of Wendy, Violet, Liza, and Grace. Despite the privileges such as wealth and status that these characters are blessed with, they have their own struggles. Wendy is trying to get over the death of her husband, Miles often through unfulfilling relationships with men and alcohol to numb the pain she feels.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a thoughtful and touching story narrated in the form of a letter by a Vietnamese son, nicknamed Little Dog, to his illiterate single mother, Rose. Across three expansive parts, Little Dog reflects on his turbulent youth spent in Hartford, Connecticut, and hopes that the act of remembering family history through writing might heal his longstanding wounds and united him with his mother. Throughout the book, I felt a deep connection to the story and could relate it to my life. The narrator shares a wide array of memories, from his mother's harrowing acts of abuse due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to her intense displays of affection. Little Dog contemplates his relationship with his grandmother, his father - who visits him once in a blue moon, and his first love. A touching and relatable narrative. #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaddiction #booklove #booklover #bookninja #booknerd #bookworm #booklady #bookboss #bookmama #bookwoman #bestreads2019 #onearthwearebrieflygorgeous #bookenchantress #bookenthusiast #bookdiva #bookbabe (at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzuRTvrgarv/?igshid=8e0d9leuwc7w
