🦇 Sleepless in Dubai Book Review 🦇

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

❝ “Be the light. No matter how much our flame dims over the year, this is a time for renewal. Don’t let the negative energy keep you in the dark. Bring your flame back to life, let it roar, and be brighter than ever." ❞

❓ #QOTD What's your favorite Middle Eastern or Indian food? OR What's your favorite holiday? ❓ 🦇 High school senior Nikki is ready to celebrate Diwali in style—not at home, but during a five-day trip to Dubai! There's only one hitch: her childhood friend and neighbor, Yash, is coming with his family. After a fight at the beginning of the summer, they've been estranged. To celebrate the true meaning of Diwali (and earn back her parents' trust), can Nikki let go of her dark resentment to let light and forgiveness in?

[ Find my review below or on Goodreads | Literal | Storygraph ]

💜 The bookish bats who know me are aware that a) I'm Middle Eastern and b) I love books by South Asian authors that make you salivate because of all the delicious food. The moment Nikki mentioned Arabic coffee, I was like, "This is my girl." I've had the fortune of traveling to Dubai before and can attest to its stunning sights, so I connected with the story right away. Yash is adorable, Nikki's little sister is a freaking HOOT (I have three younger sisters, so I felt Nikki's mixed frustration/amusement). Reading this book was an adventure through Dubai without the long, exhausting flight. Getting to celebrate Diwali with Nikki through the food and customs was an absolute delight.

🦇 Unfortunately, Nikki is a difficult character to love from the start. While this is listed as YA (Nikki is about to start her senior year of high school), she's stubborn, childish, and a bit of a crybaby. She reminded me a little bit of Usagi from Sailor Moon. Her stubbornness toward Yash doesn't relent for most of the story, and since there's technically a third-act breakup, it takes a long time for her character development to really come into effect. Nikki's voice is off at times, too; the random "Bros" and ending her thoughts with exclamation points only make her seem younger (even though she wants her parents to recognize her maturity). Though the vacation only spans five days, the story drags at times, too. The biggest issue for me was the predictability; from the first chapter, anyone YA reader can guess every plot point moving forward. While the rich culture of Dubai dazzles and lives up to the real-world splendor, the rest of the story fell flat for me.

🦇 Recommended to fans of YA, books with TONS of delicious food worth salivating over, and friends-to-lovers stories with plenty of angst.

Book Review for Beguiled by Cyla Panin @PiqueBeyond @netgalley @CylaPanin @TBRBeyondTours #Booktwitter #bookblog

Thank you TBR and Beyond Tours and NetGalley for the chance to Beguiled by Cyla Panin. Be careful what you wish for is a saying as old as time. It’s about being content with what we have and not being tricked out of that.  Ella is desperate. A money lender wants her to pay back with more than just cash. She’s barely getting by and her one client chooses to pay her later. She goes to the…

G I V E A W A Y . 💬 Happy Sunday! Tell me one thing you’re looking forward to this week. . A hilarious and vulnerable coming-of-age story about the thrilling new experiences––and missteps––of a girl's freshman year of college. . Some students enter their freshman year of college knowing exactly what they want to do with their lives. Elliot McHugh is not one of those people. But picking a major is the last thing on Elliot’s mind when she’s too busy experiencing all that college has to offer—from dancing all night at off-campus parties, to testing her RA Rose’s patience, to making new friends, to having the best sex one can have on a twin-sized dorm room bed. But she may not be ready for the fallout when reality hits. When the sex she’s having isn’t that great. When finals creep up and smack her right in the face. Or when her roommate’s boyfriend turns out to be the biggest a-hole. Elliot may make epic mistakes, but if she’s honest with herself (and with you, dear reader), she may just find the person she wants to be. And maybe even fall in love in the process . . . Well, maybe. . Thank you to @piquebeyond for sending me a copy of the book and teaming up with me for a great giveaway! Enter to win a copy Fresh! .

Looking for a fantastically feisty, foul-mouthed, flirtatious, and funny modern interpretation of Jane Austen’s Emma? Then look no further that Fresh by @margotmwood Coming August 3rd!!!! Make sure you pre-order this gorgeous gem of a YA/Adult (what do we even call those awkward college years of self discovery?)book now! Do you see that cover??? That is what this naked (no dust jacket) book looks like! All that beauty is printed right on the hard case of the book!

.

More about Fresh:

-I could not put this book down! It was the amazing, Queer, sex positive tale that I needed in my life.

-This book specifically takes place at Emerson college, but easily could have taken place at any small liberal arts college. I found so many things in this book completely relatable and nostalgic in the best ways.

- This book was 🔥🐓🔥🐓🔥🐓 If you are completely confused about what a chicken has to do with hot sexiness, then you will have to read the book.

.

Synopsis from the publisher: Some students enter their freshman year of college knowing exactly what they want to do with their lives. Elliot McHugh is not one of those people. But picking a major is the last thing on Elliot's mind when she's too busy experiencing all that college has to offer--from dancing all night at off-campus parties, to testing her RA Rose's patience, to making new friends, to having the best sex one can have on a twin-sized dorm room bed. But she may not be ready for the fallout when reality hits. When the sex she's having isn't that great. When finals creep up and smack her right in the face. Or when her roommate's boyfriend turns out to be the biggest a-hole. Elliot may make epic mistakes, but if she's honest with herself (and with you, dear reader), she may just find the person she wants to be. And maybe even fall in love in the process . . . Well, maybe.

What genre are you reading right now?! 📚✨😍 . I just finished Blood Countess by Lana Popovic and it’s a Historical Horror/Thriller about the Countess Elizabeth Báthory (also historically known as the infamous Countess Dracula 🧛‍♂️). 📚✨ Huge thanks to @piquebeyond for the free ARC! 🥰 . It has been a while since I read a historical fiction novel and it reminded me how much I love this genre! 😍 But yep, reading about the Countess Báthory and remembering all her crimes as a serial killer who used to bathe in her victims’ blood gave me all the creeps. 👀 Now I need a lighter read! (But definitely keep Blood Countess on your radar!) 📚✨ Will share a longer review on our blog later today! 😁 . . . . . #lovebooks #bookaesthetic #bookdragon #bookgeek #bookcommunity #booknerds #readinglove #booksarelife #booksofig #readersofig https://www.instagram.com/p/B6q0Naqh68I/?igshid=bhpbxsc4dcav
