Almost DNF… but somehow I did🤷‍♀️

⭐️Overall rating: 2/5:⭐️⭐️

I hate to not like a book but I couldn’t wait for this one to be over. I picked this book up because I saw a review that said it was good but honestly the only good part was the last chapter. The entire book you are waiting for something to go crazy but you just continue to hate all characters. The loser husband is a cheater who is hooking up with a coworker while his successful surgeon making all the bank in the family. She loses a patient one day and the mistress somehow is trying to bring her down for killing the man on purpose hoping if the wife is tried she will lose her career and her husband will leave her. Leaving her the man of her dreams. But we learn there is also an ulterior motive (not learned until the end). The husband gaslights and lies to the wife which just makes you hate him more and more. The only good part that I actually was like, dannnnngggggg, was the last page. It was just so slow and not enough action for me.

... Read moreIn the realm of contemporary literature, cheating and betrayal often become central themes that stir deep emotional responses. In recent years, stories featuring survival against infidelity like Leslie Wolfe's works have captured a broad audience. Such narratives explore the intricate dynamics between characters—the loyal wife, the cheating husband, and the perceived adversarial relationship with the mistress. Readers are drawn to these tales not just for their thrilling plots but also for the opportunity to reflect on trust, betrayal, and the quest for personal emancipation. As seen in many popular reviews and platforms, audiences resonate with complex character arcs that evoke feelings of empathy or disdain. By dissecting the motivations behind unconventional choices made by characters, readers can engage in rich discussions about morality, loyalty, and the challenges faced in strained relationships. Additionally, these themes lend themselves to broader societal conversations about the representation of marital challenges in literature. Therefore, when diving into a book that presents such dilemmas, the ultimate takeaway often transcends the narrative itself, allowing readers to draw personal connections and reflections on their own lives.

A hand holds the book 'The Butterfly Garden' by Dot Hutchison, featuring a dark cover with a white butterfly. Overlays include 'BOOK REVIEW,' 'Reading enriches the mind,' and a ticket-style review giving it two stars, noting it was 'really hard to finish' and almost a DNF.

This was really hard to finish. It was like pulling teeth. The way it was written wasn’t for me, it was so hard to pull me in. I really wanted to dnf it but pulled thru anyways. #reading #books #booktok #BookReview #bookrrcommendations

The Plants I Probably Won’t Buy Again🌱
I always do research first before I buy any plants. Because I want to make sure I can keep them. But sometimes I am too excited to think about it when I am at the store. However, every house has different environment for the plants. Some of them didn’t work out for me. And I need to think twice
