Review: Mating Theory

Mating Theory Mating Theory by Skye Warren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is just awesome. The emotions, the feels. I absolutely loved it. I was totally invested in the plot. I kind of predicted what is going to happen but the author's writing style is remarkable and it kept me on the edge. It was a total page-turner. I finished it in one sitting.

From the beginning the chemistry between Sutton and Ashleigh was undeniable. The age gap, social status, everything made it some sort of taboo aspect of their relationship. But they overcome every difference. They find each other at a time they needed each other.



The separation towards the end was unnecessary. I understand Ashleigh was underage and Sutton wanted to let her experience her life before settling down. But it just felt totally unnecessary, because they could have contact in the meantime without engaging in the sexual act until she becomes an adult. Good thing, both of them remain celibate. I am tired of books where hero fucks plenty of women during separation and heroine doesn't. However, I must admit Sutton is actually a good and responsible person. Even though he may have taken advantage of Ashleigh but when he finds out the truth about her he treats her like a human being and helps her in every way to achieve her dreams.

I was glad that there is no sharing. When I started the book and learned Sutton often participated in threesomes with the two people he loved, I was reluctant to continue. I was afraid what if he shares Ashleigh? But luckily he has a sense and doesn't do anything like that. Instead, he was determined that he would never share her.


I was glad they both found their happiness and solace in each other. The ending was a bit rushed and I wanted a bit more lengthy epilogue. I mostly don't like lengthy books but this book needed an elaborate epilogue. I needed more of them together. Nonetheless, It an entertaining, emotional story about healing and trusting.

Review: Norwegian Wood

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami My rating: 5 of 5 stars Norwegian Wood is a remarkable novel that deals with life, death and isolation. Many people think Toru is a bland character but for me, he is just a lonely teenager who is thrust upon the life of adulthood. He isn't emotionally ready and may never be. This book is his journey to accept grief and live his life. "How many sundays- how many hundreds of Sundays like this - lay ahead of me? Quite, peaceful and lonely," I said aloud to myself. On Sundays, I didn't wind my spring" Toru is terribly lonely. The people around him are very different and often he is only stuck by himself. Sometimes we are just all alone. The ending baffled me. But I think Toru tried to cut his association with death and move on and lead a happy life but he is stuck. For me, this book shows what Toru has become as an adult man in his life. In the beginning, we see him alone, reminiscing his past and ...

Review: Things Fall Apart

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe My rating: 5 of 5 stars Before reading Things Fall Apart, I never knew Africa has such great literature. Don't get me wrong. I knew nothing about Africa before. What I knew was what I saw in the media. Media stereotypes Africa as a way that we think they are dumb and need the help of other countries. But this book changed my thoughts of Africa. After reading this book I realized how delusional I had. I felt ashamed and realized the power the media have. I am a big fan of postcolonial literature, diasporic literature, mainly anything that deals with colonization. As a fellow Bangladeshi, I know the impact of colonization. Everything in Bangladesh screams the movements of colonization. Achebe's book "Things Fall Apart" is a remarkable tale that gives us a beautiful and unique culture Africa had and how it was ruined by the Europeans. This novel tells us about Okonkwo, an Igbo man from Umofia. The nov...
