Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky

Kwame Mbalia

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

I think the combination of the authorial voice and how irritated I was with Tristan's grandfather I just couldn't do it. 

Hollywood Homicide

Kellye Garrett

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

I can't stand the main character

All The Feels

Olivia Dade

DID NOT FINISH: 1%

I enjoyed Spoiler Alert but I refuse to keep reading this. I was under the impression that part of the purpose of this series was to be fat positive but from page one of All the Feels the mmc describes the woman who is supposed to be his love interest as a bird and makes unpleasant comments about her size and shape. No thanks

Magic for Liars

Sarah Gailey

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

This was the book that I was reading to give Sarah Gailey a second chance after I rated The Echo Wife 1.5 stars. Unfortunately it was super boring. The main character is very bitter towards her twin sister because the twin has magic and she doesn't yet she's trying so hard to convince herself that she doesn't care

It Happened One Summer

Tessa Bailey

DID NOT FINISH: 25%

I could not get into this. This was the book that was recommend for me to give Tessa Bailey a second chance but I think we just aren't meant to be.
I don't care about Piper's redemption, at 28 she's too old to act the way she does. At one point she says to her parents "I don't even know how to make toast" which is sad because my baby brother could do that when he was 7.
I also didn't care for Brenden and his immediate and constant sexualization of Piper. If this were an erotica cool but apparently I'm supposed to care about the relationship here which is hard when she's constantly talking about him having a boner despite the fact that he was an asshole to her for most of their early interactions. 
Hannah is the only character in this that I liked and I hate that she feels like she has to take care of her older sister.

The Roommate Risk

Talia Hibbert

DID NOT FINISH: 41%

I had the audiobook of this and it skipped so I have no idea how much i missed. But I don’t think I would pick it back up

sugar butter flour love : a novella

Nicole Falls

DID NOT FINISH: 29%

The Gender Game

Bella Forrest

DID NOT FINISH: 7%

I only read the prologue and first chapter and those were pretty boring. It just seems like if you're a woman in Patrus your life sucks and if you're a man in Matrus....your life sucks. I can't imagine sitting through all of the books in this series

American Royalty

Tracey Livesay

DID NOT FINISH: 24%

I considered DNFing at 12% and then gave it another try. I officially DNFd at 24% All of the plotlines irritated me from 
Dani constantly complaining about how she doesn't like what her manager has her do for videos and not standing up for herself, some random pop star starting a fake feud with her and Dani still doesn't defend herself, to a company backing out of their deal with her for her skincare line if she doesn't apologize to the white pop star who is attacking her for literally no reason, to her manager being a piece of shit. On top of all that I didn't care about Prince Jameson and the fact that he invited her to this Royal Concert without knowing any of her music and then referring to her as a stripper I just couldn't do it.  The pop culture references were excessive and romance does not need to be almost 500 pages. 
 

The Wedding Date

Jasmine Guillory

DID NOT FINISH: 22%

I stopped after the sixth chapter. Nothing about it was working for me. I can understand a little self doubt here and there but it was almost constant with Alexa. She feels inadequate in her job, calls herself something along the lines of "an average short Black girl" whatever that's supposed to mean. Keeps saying that the guy is out of her league and stressing herself out over a a guy that she literally does not know.

 
I was curious about what actually happened between Drew and Molly cause apparently he's lying but I don't care enough to keep going. Especially after the way the bride's sister was bitchy towards her and then the creepy guy at the wedding said "Yeah I'd hit that. I've ever fucked a Black girl"
Why would I want racism in a a romance?
