book lovers (emily henry) as a netflix original

Maybe it’s possible to have more than one home. Maybe it’s possible to belong in a hundred different ways to a hundred different people and places.

'I know there may be universes out there where I made different choices and they led me somewhere else, led me to someone else. And my heart breaks for every single version of me that didn't end up with you.'

Season 1, Episode 4 | Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)

It's a new year and we're back with the absolute charm bomb that is Bridget Jones's Diary. With a plot knicked from Pride & Prejudice, a perfect cast, and a main character who embodies the complexities and inanities of modern womanhood, this movie reminds you that you're lovable, just as you are.

you are allowed to wholeheartedly enjoy romance and chick-lit and fanfiction. if these types of writing are partly or exclusively what you read, your hobby of reading is still entirely valid. anyone who tries to belittle you because of the genres you enjoy is a total loser

#isnt it funny that the genres read by predominantly women are seen as inherently lesser #im so sick of it #let people enjoy things #reading #romance #chicklit #fanfiction

𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐟 "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞" 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞.

“I hope it's not too forward of me to say, but your eyes are incredible, Lucy. I die when you blink.”

Title The Hating Game

Author Sally Thorne

Genre Romance

Pages 365

THIS REVIEW HAS A COUPLE OF SPOILERS, NOTHING TOO SIGNIFICANT.

Hello fellow readers! What I have in my paws today is a review of "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞" 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞! This is an enemies to lovers office romance with a bit of a slow burn in a way.

Reading Flow ★★★★

Writing ★★★★

Plot ★★★

Characters ★★★★

Spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️

“The trick is to find that one person who can give it back as good as they can take it.”

Goodreads rating 3.90★ My rating 4★

I enjoyed this book a lot even though there wasn't a major plot outside of Lucy and Joshua, but I was a little disappointed on how early on they first kissed? However, it was very well compensated with the slow burn in the development of the rest of their relationship. There was A LOT of provocation and bickering still throughout the rest of the book, promoted by the fact that at work they were still rivals. The book wasn't super spicy but the couple of scenes that did happen were quite explicit.

Also, the nickname Joshua uses for Lucy. 😭

“Shortcake.” “Stop calling me Shortcake.” “Watching you pretend to hate that nickname is the best part of my day.”

This book has a movie adaptation. It wasn't phenomenal and I'm not a fan of how they changed the sequence of the plot, but it was overall cute if you're into the cliché-romcoms. It does have Lucy Hale in it tho, I thought it was cute.

Anyway, if you made it this far thank you for reading my firsr review! I'll leave you with the synopsis if you'd like to take a look, as well as it's Goodreads link. See you soon! 𓃠

If you'd like, follow Oli's instagram page!

SYNOPSIS

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27213238-the-hating-game

Nemesis (n.)

1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome; 2) A person’s undoing; 3) Joshua Templeman.

Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. And they have no problem displaying their feelings through a series of ritualistic passive aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company. Lucy can’t understand Joshua’s joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy’s overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude.

Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job…But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesn’t hate Joshua. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.

Amar é relativo | Sophie Kinsella

Amar é relativo é um daqueles livros que peguei porque já li muita coisa da Sophie, e como sei o estilo dela quis ler este também, não vou negar que estranhei a capa, já que ela geralmente não escreve comédias românticas e sim chick lits, até que percebi que estava certa. Este livro é sim um chick lit. Ava é uma romântica, teve um término com seu namorado a pouco tempo, e não acha que os…

SURPRISE from data collection week.

I have always believed in the importance of “downtime”. Prior to the last week, I would have said I just don’t have much, if any at this stage of my life. But… I would be wrong!

It turns out that patterns did in fact appear in my data collection! In addition to rarely getting my act together in time to get my cold-brew situated before going to bed- resulting in a regular stop at WAWA, I found that I look forward to my Audiobook time in the car on the way home from work. I also found that when there’s a change in my morning routine that allows me to listen on the way TO work, I’m especially happy about it!

I realize the downtime is actually happening more than I thought, and it makes me appreciate it that much more!

NoveList Combos: Funny & Engaging Reads

Excavations by Kate Myers

On the Megalopolis archeological site in rural Greece, the mythic home of the first Olympics, an unusual artifact is discovered. It's a relic that shouldn't exist; one that upends long-held beliefs about male achievement - everything their megalomaniacal leader has built his career, and ego, upon. Clearly, something has gone horribly wrong.

Z, Elise, Kara and Patty are all digging on this very site this summer. All four women are at wildly different crossroads in their lives, yet all have somehow ended up on this same mountain. Kara is a polished art historian on the verge of calling off her wedding. Patty is a hapless undergrad with an unfortunate bowl cut. Z, a millennial, just got dumped and fired for what feels like the thousandth time. Elise, their star excavator, is consumed by work and has no time for a personal life.

To figure out what they're really digging for, and what this site really means, these dirt-crusted colleagues will have to become what they've each avoided for years - friends. If they can manage to band together for this one summer, they might just make the discovery of a lifetime.

Holding Pattern by Jenny Xie

Holding Pattern. Noun.

1. A state of suspended progress. 2. The awkward way your mother tries to hug you now that you live with her. Again.

Kathleen Cheng has blown up her life. She’s gone through a humiliating breakup, dropped out of her graduate program, and left everything behind. Now she’s back in her childhood home in Oakland, wondering what’s next.

To her surprise, her mother isn’t the same person Kathleen remembers. No longer depressed or desperate to return to China, the new Marissa Cheng is sporty, perky, and has been transformed by love. Kathleen thought she’d be planning her own wedding, but instead finds herself helping her mother plan hers - to a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur.

Grasping for direction, Kathleen takes a job at a start-up that specializes in an unconventional form of therapy based on touch. While she negotiates new ideas about intimacy and connection, an unforeseen attachment to someone at work pushes her to rethink her relationships - especially the one with Marissa. Will they succeed in seeing each other anew, adult to adult? As they peel back the layers of their history - the old wounds, cultural barriers, and complex affection - they must come to a new understanding of how they can propel each other forward, and what they’ve done to hold each other back.

Love at First Set by Jennifer Dugan

The gym is Lizzie's life - it's her passion, her job, and the only place that's ever felt like home. Unfortunately, her bosses consider her a glorified check-in girl at best, and the gym punching bag at worst.

When their son, Lizzie's best friend, James, begs her to be his plus one at his perfect sister Cara's wedding, things go wrong immediately, and culminate in Lizzie giving a drunken pep talk to a hot stranger in the women's bathroom - except that stranger is actually the bride-to-be, and Lizzie has accidentally convinced her to ditch her groom.

Now, newly directionless Cara is on a quest to find herself, and Lizzie - desperate to make sure her bosses never find out her role in this fiasco - gets strong-armed by James into "entertaining" her. Cara doesn't have to know it's a setup; it'll just be a quick fling before she sobers up and goes back to her real life. After all, how could someone like Cara fall for someone like Lizzie, with no career and no future?

But the more Lizzie gets to know Cara, the more she likes her, and the bigger the potential disaster if any of her rapidly multiplying secrets get out. Because now it's not just Lizzie's job and entire future on the line, but also the girl of her dreams.

The Second Ending by Michelle Hoffman

Prudence Childs was once the most famous kindergartner on the planet. After teaching herself to play piano at age three, she performed at the White House, appeared on talk shows, and inspired a generation of children to take up lessons. But as adolescence closed in, Prudence began to see that she was just another exploited child star, pushed into fame by her cruel grandmother. Prudence ran away - from both performing and her greedy handler - as soon as she was old enough to vote. Flat broke and alone, she took a job writing commercial jingles, which earned her a fortune, but left her creatively adrift.

Now forty-eight, with her daughters away at school, Prudence is determined to reconnect with the artist she once was and agrees to compete on a wildly popular dueling pianos TV show. Unfortunately, her new spotlight captures the attention of her terrible ex-husband, Bobby, who uses the opportunity to blackmail her over a secret she thought she’d buried in the past. If she doesn’t win, she won’t just be a musical failure; she’ll also be bankrupted and exposed in front of millions.

Her on-air rival, virtuoso Alexei Petrov, a stunning young Internet sensation with a massive audience and a dreamy Russian accent, has problems of his own. His overbearing parents’ domineering ways made him a technically flawless pianist but left him without friends, hobbies, or any kind of life outside his music.

As they prepare to face off on stage, the retired prodigy and the exhausted wunderkind realize that the competition is their chance to prove - to their terrible exes, tyrannical family members, and most importantly, themselves - that it’s never too late to write a new ending.

Hi,

I'm Alex and it's very nice to meet you all. I originally come from Poland but have been living in the UK for over three years now. I graduated from the university and decided to do my master's in Creative Writing. This is my first huge project in English I publish online on Wattpad so feel free to leave comments and tips how I could improve. <3

Have a great evening!

Synopsis:

Emily Jenkins grew up among music. People loved the sound of her voice and how she played the piano. However, it was her best friend - Adam Williams - who got the opportunity they could only dream of. Then, a misunderstanding completely destroyed their long, close relationship.

Now, Adam is a talented musician, a beyond-handsome idol of millions of young women and a favourite of the press. He performs around the world, attends the most prestigious parties, and sells his albums at light speed. Emily, however, only dreams of one thing - to go back to the worst day of her life and change what was broken. Since then, she keeps away from the ivory keys and the microphone. All her time is spent studying and listening to Adam's songs in the comfort of her room.

Fate wants to reconnect them but for two very different reasons this time. One party, one incident, one glance, and an explosive mix of emotions. Nothing will be the same.
