Today I am posting about
The Spanish Love Deception by @thebibliotheque 
.
.
My Thoughts
.
OH MY WORD!!!! This book is now my favorite read for 2022…… I really love everything about from the way it was written to the slow burn romance to even the naughty scenes (which I normally don’t like to read)
.
In Spanish Love Deception, we see Lina who has to find a date for her sister’s wedding in Spain ASAP, due to some reasons. Then Aaron her nemesis offers to go as her date. At first, Lina says know and thinks it is a big mistake since Aaron or aka Mr. Clark Kent. Who I imagine being Henry Cavill. Is a major pain in her ass. Soo Lina realises that she has no other choice even when she still think it was a bad idea.
.
If you love Enemies to lovers
Office Romance
Slow Burn
Guy falls in love first
Then this is a must-read
.
I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5 stars
.

Hashtag Happy by @theodora_lee
.
.
Gifted copy from @panmacmillansakids
.
So the book is told in two different time periods one before rehab and one current time. Hashtag Happy shows us the dark side of wanting to be a youtube or even TikTok sensation. How addicted we can quickly become to wanting more likes, more followers ext. But with that, the negative comment, the people shaming you and what effect cyberbullying has on a person.
.
The book touches on some serious topics and I feel it is a must-read for all teenagers as well as ALLLLLLLL human beings should read this.
.
Theodora Lee as become my new fav author, and I can not wait to read her new book.
.
I give it 3 out of 5 stars

💐Review💐 . So I recently read my first Maria 💐Review💐
.
So I recently read my first Marian Keyes Novel Again, Rachel
.
Though the book was okay, it did set of some emotions that maybe should be set as trigger warnings
.
One that got me was still birth, miscarriage.
.
I love Rachel with er having conversations in her head about things (as we al do) 
.
The ending was blah.. Maybe if I read Rachels Holiday I would have appreciated this one more and understood Rachel and Luke better.
.
I give it ☆☆☆ out of 5 Stars
.
SIDENOTE: My mon who love MK loved this book.

Om jou Te Ken deur @cliffordene 
Ek was gelukkig genoeg om n kopie by @panmacmillansakids te ontvang
 .
Meer oor die boek
.
Gabby en haar niggie Georgia lyk baie na mekaar en toe hulle jonger was, was hulle onafskeidbaar. Maar iewers het hulle vreemdelinge vir mekaar geword. Al wat hulle nou gemeen het, is die bloed in hulle are. Gelukkig het Gabby goeie vriende en dalk selfs iets meer as net vriendskap met Brandon...
.
Toe die matriekgroep van Barkly-Wes op ’n toer na Kaapstad vertrek, ontdek Gabby dat sy per ongeluk Georgia se dagboek ingepak het. Kort voor lank kry haar nuuskierigheid die oorhand en begin sy haar niggie se dagboek lees. Wanneer Georgia daarvan uitvind, breek ’n volskaalse niggie-oorlog uit.
.
.
My Gedagtes
✔️Perfek vir Tiener meisies
✔️Lees Maklik
✔️komiklike oomblike
✔️komeklike familie oomblike
