Finding X: A Review



"Only, rubber erasers don't work on ink."

Way to start my #romanceclass marathon. Picked this novella as the curiosity got into me (clever title). The story was about Carlisle struggle in moving on (after a 7 years relationship) and trying again in love. And true to itself, second chance in love only happens for those who are willing to put the past behind.

I love how the author plays the story, with no red herring and in a straightforward path since page one. Love the cheesy, toe-curling scenes between the MC and LI. Love the geographical puns (even if sometimes it's too much). Love the hair. and most especially love the awkward nerd yet hot guy with a passion in Science named Mateo (heehee). This is a novella worth reading. Thumbs up!

  3. If You Could See Me Now by Cecelia Ahern. Ahern is one of the... (continue reading)
