Well, find out in this book man mission


When I first decided to read this book, I didn't have much interest, after all, I thought it was meant for men, but as it progressed, I found myself finding it very interesting, I learned so much, especially how men see the world and everything in it, their unspoken pains, and to sum it all up, how they are wired. As a woman, I learned the mistakes we make when handling the men in our lives, be it father, son, brother, or even husband. Man mission is a must-read, especially for couples.

BOOK REVIEW: Review of No Strings Attached by Christy McKellen,

-
Image
In No Strings Attached by Christy McKellen,  Chloe Dasher needs some kind of vacation so as to put her mind in order. Her long-awaited wedding did not happen since the groom decided she's not his happily ever after, after all. But she's not alone; her ex, Kit, is in the same boat, because his engagement has been cancelled. Fate seems to make them meet again in these odd circumstances. They decide to find comfort in each other's arms, with no strings attached. And only God knows where this will lead. I liked the fact that the conversations in the book are deep and natural. They seem thoughtful and well constructed. Additionally, I like the way the story is based in Japan, because it's rare in my opinion. Although the Japanese culture did not come out very clearly. I did not quite like the main characters. Kit is arrogant, and Chloe seems weak. The storyline also seems unbelievable, where both characters are leading different lives but going through the same circumstances...
