Book Review: The Three Lives of Cate Kay

There’s something about this book that’s both lovely and disorienting. Is it because of the numerous POVs? Is it because it feels more like of a memoir than your typical novel? Or is it because our protagonist still seems an enigmatic person even until the very end? As someone who prefers SFFs and RomCom stories, the Three Lives of Cate Kay felt so new to me that reading the first few chapters felt weird.

Book Review: My Fair Brady

I did not expect that I would enjoy a book that involves theatre and all its nitty-gritty details but after finishing My Fair Brady,  I just had to declare to myself that there is always a first time.

Book Review: Soft Core

I wish I could fully articulate my feeling about this book because it’s just different from the other contemporary books that I’ve read. For one, that cover alone is enough to make me question myself whether or not I’m making the right choice when I requested this from Netgalley. Soft Core is some sort of a diary written by a half-lucid person slash slice-of-life novel. Months ago, I was able to finish Elodie Harper’s Wolf Den which revolves around the lives of prostitute girls back in the 1800s. It was a journey that I enjoyed a lot and something that…
