unraveling the chaos that are my thoughts

Fumbled Love

December 8, 2022

Special Edition Cover

Summary

Publicly fighting with a man for an oversold airline seat—Embarrassing!

Realizing he was the famous quarterback for the Atlanta Arrows—Awkward

Knowing he was your friend’s older brother and teenage crush but didn’t recognize you—Humiliating.

When I stormed out of the airport after throwing a temper tantrum, I never expected to cross paths with him again. All I wanted to do was put the night behind me and enjoy a strong martini.
The last thing I expected was for him to waltz into the bar and offer me a night I couldn’t refuse.

I had every opportunity to tell him who I was. Instead, I lied and followed my heart– okay, that was a lie too.It was pure lust and maybe a little revenge that had me following him out the door.

Now, we’re flying back and forth between Atlanta and New York. And the more time we spend together, the harder I fall.

Until news of our relationship gets blasted all over the internet.

I guess it’s true what they say, you can’t believe everything you read online, or can you? I’m not sure anymore.

Now I’m wondering if I should have left my heart on the sidelines where it belonged instead of trusting him to keep it safe, especially since the news of our relationship isn’t the only thing about to be exposed.

Review

But even the things that we believed were unbreakable could still destroy us in the end.

Before Fumbled Love, I had read another series from S. Jones. I enjoyed it and wanted to see what this was about.

I can’t believe that technically, not only did I read Fumbled Love in one day, but it was also close to one sitting, minus the time I took for my responsibilities.
Every time I put it down, I wanted to pick it up again because I wanted to know what happened next.

I was entertained the whole time. It was an emotional ride for me in the sense of having several different reactions. There were moments when I wanted to scream, WHY! I’m glad I contained my emotions, and it was all internal, or there would’ve been people looking at me as if something was wrong. I loved Kinley’s grandma and wished there were more scenes with her to break up the seriousness. Although not needed, it would’ve been a nice addition. The only thing was that I wished I had cried. However, that’s a me problem because it would’ve been an outlet for me dealing with life.

Both Kinley and Maverick had mirrored relationships with their friends. Maverick with Della and Kinley with Chad. Even though it’s obvious to everyone else, they were oblivious about it until it was pointed out to them. I HATED DELLA. That deserves to be in all caps because I feel strongly about it, but you are free to have your own opinions. Rylee’s reaction was a breath of fresh air because most people would’ve had a different reaction. I loved Maverick. The main characters weren’t overdramatic; it was all reasonable. Even with their mistakes in the moment, they realize it once they have cooled down. The problems felt real and relatable, even if you’re not in the exact same circumstances.

You’ll enjoy Fumbled Love if you like the best friend’s brother trope and sports romance. I will read her other series and anything she has when I have the chance or stumble upon it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5)

“A Bánh Mì for Two” is a feel-good story abo “A Bánh Mì for Two” is a feel-good story about food, family, and self-discovery.

Dual POVs: Lan, who lives in Sai Gon, wants to be the perfect daughter and fulfill “expectations,” all the while dealing with the grief of losing her father. Vivi is a Vietnamese-American who comes to Vietnam for the first time, wanting to learn more about her family and herself. Their love of food connects them. 

I wasn’t expecting to get emotional as I did.

“A Bánh Mì for Two” was what I needed growing up. Stories with characters who look like me are coming to traditional publishing in YA. And people even know about it!

If only the blog was real! I would use it the next time I go to Vietnam. It needs to be a thing.

It was relatable. However, I wished for more at moments. 
A few times, I had to stop to look up words. Since I can understand Vietnamese more than I can read it, I had to listen to the words to understand what they were. It would have been an even better experience if I had listened to the audiobook. 

“A Bánh Mì for Two” was one of my anticipated books of the year, and I am honored to be gifted a copy.
