We all are bound with memories, that's how we look back to some of our happiest times and even moments we wish to forget. The ones which are toughest to remember are often those moments we shared with people we love the most and they are no more here to make new memories.
Emily feels the same... Since she lost her mom three years back, she can no longer do things that she did with her mom. So when her dad forced her to join bingo night which is hosted monthly in their small town of Huckabee, she was reluctant because this was one of her favorite time with her mom who always felt they were lucky. It started from Emily being born on 5th May, picking up 505 bingo card, keeping lucky quarter. Emily wasn't feeling lucky until Blake entered that bingo night and slowly into her life. Blake's dad and Emily's parents were childhood best friends, this gave both the girls enough opportunities to hang out. While cleaning her mom's closet, Emily found a bucket list of things her mom did in her senior year. Blake encouraged her to do the same, Emily loved this idea and took it as a chance to fix all her problems with her friends and ex but mostly to feel closer to her mom 😭 
Over the summer both the girls do everything from Emily's mom's list ; Cliff jumping, stealing an apple, finding four leaved clover and slowly they fell in love with each other. Blake could see through Emily, understand her better than anyone... Her mom's bucket list proved to be luckiest thing that happened to her in a while, she's happy since long time and feeling like she's with her mom and also this led her to find Blake who helped Emily with her grief... But our Emily is skeptical because her mom didn't know this part of her and couldn't accept this fact... She's torn between fixing things with her ex, the way her mom wanted her to or be with Blake who brings out her best.

It's been a while since I read a book which feels comfy and warm. Without effort I could relate to Emily even at times when she messed up I was like yeah I did that 😂 There's no unnecessary drama just a book about teen who lost too much and doesn't know how to cope up because the person to whom she used to ask for advise is not here. Emily accepts the fact that she did wrong, she tries to make it right but doesn't know how to. There are so many subtle parts which stood out to me that everyone missed Emily's mom too, it's obvious that she's constantly reminded of her loss but people are remembering her because they also miss her.

Book Review ✨  Authors : Margaret Stohl and Melissa de la Cruz  Pages : 365 My Ratings 🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✨  There are times when it's awfully difficult to accept endings we are given by creators of fictions whether it be a movie, poetry or especially a novel. In a movie, we connect to the characters of the plot in span of two or three hours, similarly in a poem we spend shorter amount of time. But it's different in case of a novel, the readers spend relatively invest more time dwelling in the plot, characters and their progress and we make home to the characters in our minds and heart, we feel for them equally as they do. And when readers are not given a satisfactory ending to the fate of their beloved characters especially the protagonist, we live rest of our lives in agony. To move on from the original endings, many readers skilled in penmanship themselves, twist the story to their likings. Yes I'm talking about Wattpad 😂 You have no idea how many times Wattpad FanF...

The Authenticity Project

How well do you know the people who live near you?  How well do they know you?  ✨ The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley  My Ratings 3.8/5 ✨ ✨ ✨  As this book begins, we are posed with these questions... Rather than 'we' Monica is being asked.  Ex - lawyer and now owner of Café in London finds a pale green notebook abandoned in one of her tables. The notebook simply says 'The Authenticity Project' .  Inside, Julian Jessop, the famous artist, now a lonely widower has written his story, his truth and has left this book to carry out this chain of one's authentic self and expressing their truth. Throughout the book we see this pale green notebook following the links of different characters with almost nothing in common and how they come together finding new friendships, new purpose and something that each of them wanted.  The one thing I loved that the author impressively created the stories of each character. I loved how her cha...

A Pho Love Story

A Pho Love Story Review 💕 Author : @loanloanle Genre : Rom Com  My Ratings 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ⭐ /5  ... My first thing that came to my mind after I started this book was to eat really delicious bowl of Pho. I immediately took up to myself to learn how to cook a vegetarian version of Pho, I didn't expect to find it but there were so many recipes and they looks super yummy!! While reading A Pho Love Story, I could imagine myself being inside the restaurants and witness this cute little story. I could see Bao's mom and her gossip friends, I could look through their window and see Linh's family restaurant and Linh walking down the street with her art bag.  Despite being in same school Bao and Linh never talk to each other or should I say they aren't allowed to by their families. Though it may seem like their families don't like each other because of their competitive business but this beef is way too longer. Bao and Linh never actually got to know the real reason ...
