Troublemaker by Heather Beck

Hi There Readers,

I hope you are all doing well!

I am writing this after just finishing the book I literally put it down and started my laptop up to write this review. I did receive this book to review and just so you know this will be my honest opinion of the book.

Troublemaker is a book full of ups and downs, there is a lot happens in this book for our main character who has a lot on her plate.

Seventeen-year-old Ava has a hit reality show with her family (a bit like keeping up with the Kardashians). She is the "It Girl" who seems to have it all the hit reality show, the endorsements with the hottest brands and her very own stalker who is out to ruin her life.

Desperate to keep her safe, Ava and her family move to Mar de Lagrimas, a small coastal town in Yucatan Peninsula. Ava knows that it is the perfect place to hide her true identity and stay safe until her stalker is caught by the police. What Ava does not expect is to fall in love with the culture, the breathtaking scenery and a sexy local man who goes by the name Javier.

Javier is a strong, passionate, and chivalrous everything Ava wants in a guy (don't we all). Even though a relationship is the last thing on Ava's mind right now and needs right now, she finds that she can not stay away from Javier she is drawn to him. The chemistry between them is intense. Ava finds the time they spend together unforgettable, but will soon find out that Javier is keeping some big secrets of his own.

Will Ava and Javier get there happy ever after? or will their troubled past put them in danger? (guess you will have to read the book to find out).

I very much enjoyed this story and the characters of Ava and Javier and their relationship even though it's not a straight forward on they have there ups and downs and I found myself rooting for them more and more as the book went on.

I found that it also showed some of the less attractive sides of fame, that you don't always get to see or know how bad it can get.

I highly enjoyed this book and found it a good gripping read and I would recommend it to others who I believe would enjoy it.

I gave it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brooklyn by Colm ToIbin Book Review

Hi Readers, 👋

Just so that you know this is my first Colm Toibin book, I have been interested in picking up one of his books and reading it. So I found this one and it sounded interesting and based on a time period I am interested in, but rarely read anything from that time period which is 1950.

This book takes place in Ireland, which is one of the reasons why I picked it up. The main character is a young girl called Ellis Lacey, like a lot of young girl in Ireland there were not many opportunities and work was hard to come by. So Ellis decides to move to Brooklyn where there are more work and opportunities. Ellis knows that she must go and leave her family and life behind for the first time.

When she arrives she gets very homesick, thinking of everything that she has sacrificed, living in a crowded lodging house, but just as she is starting to form friendships and possibly more. She suddenly gets news that she must go home, taking her back to Ireland which confronts her with a terrible dilemma, a choice between duty and a great love.


I did really enjoy this book and found it very interesting and made me keep wanting to come back to it, to find out what happens next. There were some nice character development in this story and focuses on the main character's point of view of the situations and what is going on in her mind. I really highly enjoyed this book it was a very good read. This being my first Colm Toibin book I will not be my last (I have actually already got another one). I have already passed this book on for someone else to borrow and read. I guess that means I would recommend this book to others.

I rated this book 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best Wishes 

and 

Keep Reading
