Loved and hated

Always Never by Jordi Lafebre

September 13, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

UGH! Always Never by Jordi Lafebre is one of those books that I loved and hated all at once!  The story is simple, with a few twists as it is told from the end of our main character story to the start of it. Our two lovers unwind their love story from finally seeing each other after years, to how their fateful and slightly humorous first encounter. We see how they got to a bridge back in their hometown that symbolizes their decades long affair. […]

If I’m a bitch and a fake, is there nobody who will love a bitch and a fake?

December 30, 2016 by Blingle Bells 3 Comments

What a lovely book. A woman named Sarah (seemingly!) abruptly ends her affair with a writer named Bendrix. Bendrix bumps into Sarah’s distraught husband some time later, who reveals that Sarah seems to be having an affair. Jealous that she might have a new lover, Bendrix takes it upon himself to hire a private investigator “for Henry.” The investigator gets his hands on Sarah’s journal and Bendrix discovers what’s really gone on. This book was of particular interest to me because of my great grandmother. […]
