⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 Wow… I was not expecting this book to unpack as much as it did. We Don’t Talk About Carol dives into so many issues within the Black community—from the lack of attention given to missing Black girls to the “what happens in this house, stays in this house” mentality. One old photo

This is my second book by Shanora Williams, and yeah… she might have me hooked. 👀 This story follows Rose, a journalist who gets a call from a friend whose sister has gone missing. At first, Rose isn’t exactly eager to get involved because of a traumatic accident from her past. But the deeper sh

One thing for sure, two things for certain: Takerra Allen is going to take you on a ride every single time. 😮‍💨 Book 3 unpacked SO much trauma and grief. I can’t even lie… was Delvin wrong for some of the decisions he made? Absolutely. But was I still rooting for him? Also yes. 😂 Now Tahli… w

This book was a shorter read, but whew… it tackled some heavy topics. It centered around grief and loss, and I really appreciated seeing it through a male perspective. We don’t always get to see men navigate heartbreak, faith, and healing in books, so that stood out to me. One thing I also liked

Wow… I don’t even know where to start with Hurricane Summer. First of all, never judge a book by its cover because I definitely wasn’t expecting this. This was a HEAVY read that tackled some serious topics: colorism, sexual assault, jealousy, generational trauma, and displaced anger. The stor

Listen… one thing about a church-folk book? It’s gonna come with drama, mess, and somebody minding everybody else’s business. 😂 Mega had me cracking up the entire time. That man said what he said, meant every word, and wasn’t changing his mind for nobody. You can’t even be mad at it. 😂 Now Ms

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 5/5 📖📚 Seven Days in June has been sitting on my TBR for a while, and I finally decided to make it my last read of the month. I won’t lie—I had seen plenty of mixed reviews. But after going to Tia Williams’ book signing this month and hearing so many people rave about this story,

Book 2 said all gas, no brakes! 🔥 I have to admit, Legend actually grew on me in this book. However, I need him to cut the nonsense with his brother, Saint. 😂 Also…where do these authors come up with some of these parents—especially the mothers? Because whew. 😩 The aunt was so shady it did

I’m not sure how to review this book without giving spoilers, but just know it was THAT good. This story follows a group of kids who were forced to grow up way too fast because of the circumstances they were born into. One life-changing tragedy impacts them all, but it also gives them the streng

Wow, this book started off so crazy I was like, “Slow down!” and thankfully it did just that. I’m not going to lie, it dragged a little in the middle. However, once I got to page 300+, everything started unfolding and my mouth was left wide open. Then I had to remind myself this is a 4-book seri

I’m not sure what took me so long to get to Only for the Week, but I’m so glad I finally made my way here. Jenelle, I’m glad you found your voice because baby, your sister and mother were the same person in the same font. How does your mom think you’re the problem when you’ve been supportive of

Ms. Kimberly, baby… your writing is AMAZING! 👏🏽 I’m not even sure what genre to call this because it gave plot after plot after plot. It had me feeling like I was reading a thriller, a mystery, and a second-chance romance all at once. Easy 1000/10. ⭐️ This was a Fable Book Club read, and by the

I’m not going to lie—I was a tad bit confused in the beginning and had to read along with the audiobook to fully catch on. But once everything clicked, I was hooked. The whole time I kept asking myself: was this family actually cursed, or were these women simply standing in their own way? Mo

Here’s a polished version that keeps your BookTok style while avoiding major spoilers: Both of the MFCs had similar backgrounds and were carrying their own pain for different reasons. However, Leighton was definitely her own worst enemy. She was the definition of saying things you know you don’t

For the first time ever, I read a book centered around a genuine friend group, and whew, these ladies were going THROUGH IT. Ellie, Sloan, Courtney, and Shy have been best friends since 7th grade, and now pushing 40, life was definitely lifing. Ellie had been separated for FOUR years from her

This is my 5th read by Kellz Kimberly and babyyyy, what a way to start a book! The author did not let up on Valli at all. My girl went through HELL, and Jasiah was straight up weak. Simone and Kincaid? Easily two of the worst people I’ve ever read about. Snoh did not play about Valli, but sis wa
