Catching feelings and flights ✈️

I read this last year… and baby this was MESSY 😭📚

We got two half-sisters, Kendall and Renee

and from the jump??

yeah they did NOT like each other.

Kendall living her best life, carefree, no stress, doing what she want 👀

Meanwhile Renee??

she doing whatever it takes to keep up even if it means going too far.

And you can feel that tension the whole time.

But when secrets start coming out??

Yeah… everything goes LEFT.

All that jealousy, competition, and built-up anger??

It finally explodes.

And the whole time you reading, you really like…

who wrong here??? 👀

Because honestly…

both of them got their issues 😭

This book is giving:

✨ sister rivalry on 10

✨ drama that keeps building

✨ secrets that change EVERYTHING

✨ and characters that will have you picking sides the whole time

Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️ (2/5)

More drama and tension than spice, but still got a lil something 👀

I read this last year…

and yeah it definitely did what it needed to do 😮‍💨

3/24 Edited to

... Read moreReading about the fraught relationship between Kendall and Renee reminded me of my own experiences with sibling rivalry, where unspoken tensions can simmer for years before erupting unexpectedly. Much like in this story, these conflicts often aren't about who is right or wrong but about deeper emotions like jealousy, insecurity, and the struggle for acceptance. One powerful aspect of this book is how it humanizes both half-sisters, showing that each has her own flaws and motivations. This portrayal invites readers to empathize with both characters rather than simply picking a side, which adds layers of complexity to the narrative. The buildup of drama and tension felt so authentic to me. It was like watching a slow burn ignite, with secrets spilling out and altering everything between them. The story shows how family dynamics can be messy and complicated, especially when compounded by hidden pasts that influence present behavior. The balance of drama over spice (rated 2/5 for the latter) makes this a captivating urban fiction that focuses more on emotional depth and interpersonal conflicts than romance alone. If you enjoy stories where character development drives the plot and every revelation shifts your perspective, this book definitely hits the mark. Finally, the hashtags #MessyReads and #DramaReads perfectly capture the vibe of this tale. For anyone interested in engrossing books about family, rivalry, and secrets, this read delivers that intense experience with relatable emotions and real-world tension. It’s the kind of book that stays with you long after you turn the final page.

I am a HUGE advocate for solo travel. Not only is it grounding, but being able to sit in solitude and enjoy your own company allows you to explore areas of yourself you may not had tapped into prior. #lifegoals #empowerment

MY FAVORITE TIP FOR FINDING CHEAP FLIGHTS
It is without a doubt that flight costs make up the biggest expense of any trip…my best advice to keep flight costs low is to choose a destination based on where you can find the best flight deals. Go into planning a trip without a specific location in mind. The best way to find cheap flights quick

You know that saying, “catching flights, not feelings”? Well, I’m choosing to stir up my faith, not my feelings, because they’re unstable and inconsistent. Instead I’m giving them back to The One who is stable and consistent. The songs that used to keep me stuck in a funk and feeling sorry for m
