Girl in Pieces by Kathleen Glasgow

It's the story that breaks you a little and stays in your heart forever.

Charlotte's life is a difficult one. She found herself in the mental hospital, too hurt to even talk. She has cuts all over her arms and legs, but the ones that hurt the most are not visible.

Growing up wasn't easy, it got harder after her dad died and her mom turned into someone much worse than before. She spent a lot of time with friends, doing stuff she wasn't supposed to, and relieved her pain with cutting.

She ended up on the streets and it just got harder from there.

Recovery is hard, but the hardest part comes after, learning how to live in a world that hurts you.

Her mom won't take her and she ends up in Arizona, gets a job as a dishwasher, and starts to build her life... but then she falls in love. It's not the good kind of love and she ends up hurt again.

It's a story of a broken girl, who has a hard time living in this world, and who gets beaten down again and again... but it's also a story of resilience, of getting up and picking yourself up again and again. Of recovering, but having setbacks, of looking for love in the wrong places, and in the end finding your place in the world.

It's not an easy read and the story doesn't shield away from the hard topics. Charlie doesn't always make good decisions, but there is something about her, that makes you want to root for her and feel for her.

I love this book so much. It broke me, it made me cry, I was frustrated with the characters a million times, but there is something about it... I couldn't stop reading. It's so good!

Semantic Error by J. Soori, Art by Angy

The cutest story! Sangwoo lives by the rules he set for himself. He has a schedule and routines he follows religiously. His whole day is in disarray if anything were to mess with those. He is a computer major at a university. At a group project, when none of the team mates managed to contribute to the presentation, he did it himself and cut all of the other names, making them essential fail the class. One of those teammates was Jaeyoung, a design major who failed to graduate because of that class. It ruined his plans to continue his studies abroad and made him very, very angry. Sangwoo is working on a video game and needs a designer. His current one no longer has time and has recommended someone else. When they meet up, it's none other than Jaeyoung. He is very determined to get back at him, and disrupts his routine, just to make him mad. What makes Jaeyoung the most mad, is the fact that Sangwoo fails to remember him, even though they meet many times. They even end up...

i want you to want me: Adam by Mary Ann Marlowe (Most Wanted #1)

It has all the right elements that make up a great rock star romance, but this one fell flat for me. I like the chemistry between them and the setup, so the first third of the book, but the rest... didn't do much for me. She is a biochemist, working for a company that is developing an experimental perfume. She has a stable-ish life but is not happy. Her brother on the other hand is running after his dream. She is with him one night, as he has a performance, and starts talking to a guy. He doesn't seem like much, but there is something very attractive about him. They spend the night together. The next morning, when she talks to her girlfriend, she realizes who he is. I had high hopes for the MCs, but I had trouble connecting with the FMC, she comes across as very judge-y and she looks down on others. Her actions made me dislike her very much. Adam on the other hand I liked from the start. He seems to be struggling with all the things that come from a life in...

Unholy Obsession by Stasia Black

After reading the first page, I was hooked. I'm a monster, but as so often happens with monsters, I've got everyone snowed into thinking I'm a good man from the outside. The priest's collar around my neck helps. No one knows about the shattered glass and spilled blood. No one knows about the floggers and leather and the countless women I've put on their knees and ordered to call me Lord- It's a very sexy story, with two deeply flawed characters who somehow make each other better. Moira is a sex addict and her life is spinning out of control. Bane took 180 from how he grew up and became a priest. His life is about to fall apart. He is still plagued by his father's upbringing and even though he did about everything to not turn out like him, he is plagued by it nonetheless. He is massively torn between what he knows is right and what he desires. And the thing he desires the most is Moira. But that lifestyle he so craves doesn't mesh well, with being a p...
