Hello my lovely readers! This collection of quick reviews were all audiobooks and surprisingly diverse! We have Thailand, South Korea, USA and South Africa all in the mix. Let's get into it.
Days of Feasting and Rejoice
Esther Maile, is an expat American living in Thailand in a house rented by the richer, more popular Christine. While on holiday in Bali, Christine is caught by an ocean wave and drowns. Esther rushes to save her, but in the chaos that ensues, the police arrive and confuse Esther for Christine. For someone who would prefer to be anyone but herself, this is the perfect solution — no matter the consequences.
*This was a decent book. A short, tight, crime novel, but nothing to write home about. 3 out of 5 stars.
The Summer Girlfriend by Kristina Forest
A stand-in girlfriend and a handsome business heir find that their fake summer fling is feeling way too real.
*This was cute, but I wish it would've had a bit more drama. They were immediately attracted to each other so there's no tension there. I would've liked to see Noel deal with her business as a hired bridesmaid longer before she takes this gig. I also would've liked to see more family tension with Noel. Jeremiah's family immediately accepts Noel with no hesitation. If I'm part of a family business conglomerate, I'm side eyeing anyone who just pops up as a significant other, simply because I want to make sure they're here for the right reasons. 3 out of 5 stars.
House of Margins
A young African author disappears after being invited to an exclusive writing residency, and her sister is left only with a true crime podcast to help her uncover the truth about what really happened.
*This didn't really keep my interest. I thought it was going to be your standard interest, but then we went into ghost territory and I wasn't really feeling it. 2 out of 5 stars.
The Memory Bookshop by Song Yu-jeong
The Memory Bookshop stores all of one’s memories within an infinite number of books and appears to those who are looking for a reason to live. Its manager, 'K', offers visitors the chance to travel back three times, in exchange for part of their futures.
*Another cute and cozy quick read. It was just OK though. I didn't feel that strong of a connection with this one. 3 out of 5 stars.
