BOOK REVIEW UPDATE: The Arrangement by Robyn Harding

The Arrangement by Robyn Harding

🙶Natalie, a young art student in New York City, is struggling to pay her bills when a friend makes a suggestion: Why not go online and find a sugar daddy—a wealthy, older man who will pay her for dates and even give her a monthly allowance? Lots of girls do it, Nat learns. All that’s required is to look pretty and hang on his every word. Sexual favors are optional.

Though more than thirty years her senior, Gabe, a handsome corporate finance attorney, seems like the perfect candidate, and within a month, they are madly in love. At least, Nat is…Gabe already has a family, whom he has no intention of leaving.

So when he abruptly ends things, Nat can’t let go. But Gabe’s not about to let his sugar baby destroy his perfect life. What was supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement devolves into a nightmare of deception, obsession, and, when a body is found near Gabe’s posh Upper East Side apartment, murder.🙷

My Rating: DNF

I've never read anything as irritatingly descriptive as this one. "Warm. Safe. Protected." "Funny, messy, normal." "affordable, safe, and accessible." "hazy, blurry, jumbled". There has to be 3 words to describe someone or something. ALWAYS. Like me at school trying to make my paper longer to meet the word count requirement. Might be a good book based on the blurb and the reviews but I just couldn't get past the distracting 3-word descriptions of everything.

Below are books I've read recently and truly enjoyed. Check them out!

Plug and Socket Types around the World: Why You Need a Universal Travel Adapter

Are you planning an international trip? Exciting! But before you go, it’s important to remember that not all countries use the same electrical outlet plugs. In fact, there are currently 15 types of domestic electrical outlet plugs in use worldwide, each of which has been assigned a letter by the US Department of Commerce International Trade Administration (ITA), starting with A and moving through the alphabet. These letters are completely arbitrary and don’t actually mandate anything. Different regions of the world use different plug shapes and sizes, so you’ll want to choose the correct one for the country you’re visiting. For example, most of Europe uses one type, but Italy and Switzerland each use something different. Don’t worry though, there are many options available to help you stay connected and charged up while you travel. First things first, always remember to bring a Universal Travel Adapter. This is a must-have item for any international traveler. A Universal Travel A...

Ditch the Bookshelves, Embrace the Future: My Love Affair with the Kindle Paperwhite 11th Generation

Forget everything you thought about e-readers. The Kindle Paperwhite 11th Generation is more than just a digital book reader; it's a portal to literary worlds without the weight of physical limitations . As someone who used to scoff at the idea of e-readers, I'm here to tell you, I was wrong . From skeptic to superfan: I never considered myself a bookworm, but friends kept recommending titles I couldn't fit on my already overflowing shelves. Phone reading strained my eyes, and library trips weren't always convenient. Then, a birthday gift and some research changed everything. The Paperwhite became my constant companion, and I haven't looked back. Why I love it: Bigger is better: The expansive 6.8" display feels luxurious, like holding a real book, without the bulk. Plus, thinner bezels create a more immersive reading experience. Eyes never get tired: The 300 ppi glare-free display mimics the look and feel of paper, even in bright sunlight. And the adjustab...

Immersive Mysteries: Unpacking "The Sacred Well Murders" by Susan Rowland

"The Sacred Well Murders" by Susan Rowland is available on amazon here . Dive into the Depths of Mystery and Myth Alright, gather 'round, mystery lovers, because I've just finished Susan Rowland's "The Sacred Well Murders," and let me tell you, it's a wild ride. Upon first glance, the front book cover looks like it could be the haunting well of Sadako from "The Ring," which only adds to the sense of foreboding as you dive into the story. But don't let that initial impression fool you - this is not a horror tale. Instead, picture this: ancient Celtic myths colliding with modern-day detective work, all set against the backdrop of picturesque Oxford. Sounds intriguing, right? Well, buckle up, because I'm about to take you on a journey through this twisty tale that's part supernatural thriller, part archaeological adventure, and all-around captivating. Meet Mary Wandwalker and Her Unlikely Crew The heart of "The Sacred Well Mur...
