December Book Ratings Part 2

First-time caller 5/5 at first was a little repetitive single mom needs to find love like seriously few chapters in it just kept going like nothing exciting happened but then later on it got so interesting especially between the main characters and I think what did it for me that made me love this book was the conversation between the MMC and his father it made me so teary and rest from there was cute and the spice I was two chapters of spice but those 2 chapters were everything ❤️❤️❤️

Credence- the reason I did not rate this is because I don’t know how reading this book and finishing I don’t know how to feel about this book because yes they are not blood but they are family regardless they said it so may times in this book, and what throws me off with a they knew she was 17 and the “uncle/cousins’ were thinking about her sexually they legit waited till she turned 18 to do something so do wha you will with this information

The naturals- 4/5 I heard a lot of bad reviews about this book but honestly reading it it’s not that bad especially for it being a thriller/crime kind of genre I actually prefer this series than a good girls guide to murder. Remember these are teenagers so they will be drama, boys, cringy moments but beside all that it’s pretty good

"First-Time Caller" scored a perfect 5/5 rating, despite initial slow pacing. The story revolves around a single mother’s journey to find love, with early chapters feeling a bit repetitive. However, the plot gains momentum with stronger character development, especially the heartfelt conversations between the male main character (MMC) and his father that add emotional depth. The brief but impactful romantic moments provide the needed spice, making the overall reading experience rewarding. "Credence" provokes mixed feelings, as the story explores complex family relationships involving characters who, while not biologically related, consider each other family. A challenging aspect is the tension created by the characters’ ages and the morally ambiguous dynamics between them. Readers should be aware of this nuance when approaching the book, as it raises important questions about boundaries and family definitions. "The Naturals" stands out as a solid thriller/crime novel targeted at a teenage audience. While some readers have criticized it, many enjoy its fast-paced narrative involving teens navigating drama, romance, and crime-solving. It’s often preferred over similar genre titles like "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder," making it a great pick for readers who like suspenseful plots with relatable young characters. These books reflect diverse genres and styles, offering something for fans of romance, complex family drama, and thrilling crime stories.
