I ugly cried during some parts of this book
Her step sister is a bitch
Her step mom ehhhh what can i say
Her dad I hate him i can see his point of view and what he went through but that does not excuse his behavior
The FMC she's funny, sometimes annoying, grieving, delulu but realistic u know
The MMC is cuuuuute
I liked the idea of this book
DNF @ 65%
When I read the book blurb I've decided that I'll stop at book 3
The trope wasn't my cup of tee then the book came out and I caved
Ahhh I wish I didn't
I've read like 35% and I really wanted to DNF it but I decided against it, put it aside, came back to it today
65% in and the only time am interested is when clyde shows up
I've cringed multiple times specially when Bash mentioned his son
This did not make laugh or invested enough to finish it
It's the worst end for a serie that I really liked
هذا الكتاب يتجاوز فكرة التقييم بعدد النجوم، فهو عمل أدبي وإنساني عميق ينقل لنا تجربة شخصية تبدو فردية، لكنها في الحقيقة تعبّر عن مأساة جماعية للشعب الفلسطيني منذ النكبة. من خلال سرده، يضعنا مريد البرغوثي أمام مرآة تعكس حال الفلسطيني الممزق بين المنافي البعيدة في أوروبا والدول العربية، والمنافي القريبة داخل وطنه نفسه.
الكتاب يقدّم شهادة حيّة عن صعوبة أن تكون فلسطينيًّا في زمن الاحتلال، وكيف يصبح الوطن حلماً بعيد المنال، والعودة إليه ليست إلا بداية لجرح آخر.
إنه نصّ يستحق القراءة بتمعّن، ليس فقط لفهم تجربة الفلسطيني، بل لفهم معنى الاغتراب، ومعنى أن يكون الإنسان محرومًا من أبسط حقوقه: أن يعيش في وطنه بسلام.
I just finished The Bodyguard by Katherine Center, and it's my last read of August. I'm giving it 3⭐, and here's why.
This book was recommended to me by BookTok, and I went in with really high expectations. Honestly, I thought it was going to be at least a 4⭐ or even a 4.5⭐ read for me. But once I started, the first few chapters already had me thinking, “Okay... what is this?”
As I read on, I did enjoy parts of it, and I can say it's a good book overall. But the ending didn't blow me away—it was fine. And that kind of sums up my whole experience: it was fine, enjoyable even, but not what I expected.
I think the disappointment really comes from my own expectations being set too high. I was hoping to find more than what I actually got. So, while I liked it, it just ended up as a 3⭐ read for me.
