Book trailer for Dorothy Koomson's newest novel. 

Triggers: eating disorder(s), sexual abuse, violence/death, harassment, miscarriage and there might be a few more but those are the ones that came to mind the quickest

Thoughts/Feelings: So, I've a huge DK fan. I've been fan since I first picked up her books, and very few books have been hit-and-miss with me. However, this one was kind of miss for me. I don't know if it's because there were a lot of issues the main character was sorting through, and in the process of properly sorting through her issues, that some of the story got lost along the way. I don't know if it just didn't sit well with me because of the what was going on or what. I can't really explain what went "wrong". However, this didn't give me that satisfying feeling I get from finishing a book, especially one by Dorothy Koomson. 

I do think some things could have been resolved differently, and maybe even that contributes to that feeling. I don't know. 

All in all, I won't say it's a "bad" read but definitely not my favorite by her. 

So, basically, the main thing taking up my time right is well, college(or university). I've been so busy. So very busy. I haven't had much time to read but when I do have I'm going between these three books. 

The Flavours of Love : I'm finding it really interesting. I love this author. She writes amazing books. And when I was finally able to get this, I started reading it immediately. I'm getting more clues but I'm not figuring too much out right now. I'm pretty far in, but I don't think I'm exactly halfway either. I am looking forward to see where this goes. I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on this one due to some kind of even that happens in the book. So, yeah. 

At Grave's End : This is the second book I've read by Jeaniene Frost. The first one I did kind of like. I didn't necessarily like everything about it, but a lot of it was good. I feel like I'm feeling the same way so far about this book. But we'll see. 

Kindred : This book(and author) have been on my TBR and rec. read for a long time. So, I'm finally glad I was able to get this. I did have some trepidation. I've tried to read a book by Octavia Butler before, and it way too much for me, and I couldn't take it. So, I'm trying not to put this one down just due that experience. So far, I do like it, and I love POC SF/F. I think there even needs to be more it to be honest, and when I come across a SF/F with POC main characters I get excited. So, I am going to continue reading this, but I'm also trying to keep myself braced for any type of content that shows up.
