Preach
I knew I was going to like Preach story—and I was right.
His parents really let him down, especially his father. That part annoyed me bad. I will say, I’m glad his mom showed up eventually… but the damage was already done.
And why are all his women the SAME?? He clearly has a type and refuses to break that cycle.
It was a quick read, but I enjoyed it. What got me is how he can’t stand when someone tells him about himself… like sir, be serious.
I wasn’t planning to read the whole series, but now I need to see how everything plays out 😭
Reading 'Preach' really made me reflect on how deeply family influences our behavior and relationship choices. The protagonist’s disappointment with his father resonated with me because it shows how parental neglect can leave lasting scars. What's interesting is how the story highlights that even when a supportive parent appears later, like his mother, sometimes the early damage is hard to fix. I've seen this pattern in real life where people tend to unconsciously pick partners who mirror their past experiences, especially negative ones with family members. The fact that all his romantic interests share similar traits points to a cycle that’s tough to break, reflecting a common human tendency to repeat familiar patterns despite their consequences. This got me thinking about how much self-awareness and external support are needed to change these cycles. Also, the protagonist’s resistance to self-reflection—like when he gets irritated if someone points out his own flaws—is spot on. It’s a realistic portrayal of how difficult it can be for some to face uncomfortable truths, even when it’s for their own growth. Though it was a quick read, the story’s emotional depth and character complexities stuck with me. It’s the kind of series that pulls you in, making you eager to follow the characters' journeys to see if they can overcome their struggles. If you enjoy stories that explore personal growth amid messy family and relationship issues, I highly recommend giving 'Preach’ a shot.
