I REALLY WANTED TO LOVE IT

The Capone series really just didn’t do it for me . I found Erin to be quite annoying , she constantly caused her own self stress and kept putting herself into dumb situations. Capone was that guy but he allowed too much to happen within his empire plus he wasn’t the best big brother to his sister. Also , i don’t like the authors writing style , there would be 4 pages of rambling with 1 paragraph of dialogue within . Honestly, as a whole i give the series a 2.5/5 , the 3rd book really carried the series for me .

... Read moreThe Capone series has generated mixed reactions among readers. Many have found the portrayal of characters, such as Erin, polarizing, with her choices often leading to frustrating situations. This could reflect common themes in character development, where protagonists face their inner conflicts. The writing style also plays a crucial role in reader engagement; prose that features extensive descriptions may deter those who prefer swift narrative progression. Readers typically appreciate dialogue-driven content that allows for character interactions; hence, too much exposition can leave the audience wanting. Moreover, discussing the series' pacing may shed light on why certain readers felt the series dragged on. It's essential to consider that while some books in a series can rejuvenate interest, the initial installments set the tone. Engaging with reader forums or review blogs can help contextualize these thoughts, helping potential readers decide whether they want to embark on this literary journey. As communities share their experiences, the varying perspectives provide a deeper understanding of how narrative techniques impact reader satisfaction.

I only kinda enjoyed book 1. Book 2 was so bad that I bailed on the entire series. Idk what people like about any of the characters. But don’t give up on the author. Her book “from come over to come home” was so good. She’s got other great options in her catalog.

I always wanted it to be you
Even if we don’t end up together, I want you to know that I always wished it could be you. In all the times we spent together, there’s a feeling inside me that even if things don’t work out romantically, you were the one I hoped for. It’s like a special thread in the fabric of our time together, ad

I saw this ring and really wanted it
It was 99$ but a size 5. I never find my size in store anymore— i took it and checked out in 4 seconds. The checkout lady was so mean but I didn’t let her ruin my moment . Buying jewelry for myself is so welcoming. I love pampering myself and I deserve it too. 💓 #jewelry #diamondring #unfi
