After many failed online dates, a young woman turns her disasters into a columnist job. This doesn't stop her again trying to get a date though, she's matches with a guy on a dating app called josh and they really hit it off. They talk and text all the time and he seems a really great guy. After 2 weeks of speaking with him, she believes she has found the perfect guy, and flies 3000 miles to surprise him......... Only to find she has been catfished. In disgust she leaves and goes for a drink at a local bar, where the real josh turns up. After a disastrous attempt to seduce Tag (real josh), Josh offers to set Natalie up with Tag as long as she pretends to be his girlfriend until Xmas.

Despite the predictable outcome of the movie, I really enjoyed it. Nina dobrev is fab and plays a really likeable character who is also pretty funny, and Jimmy o. Yang who plays Josh fits well with Ninas character too as the awkward shy guy, who just wants to find love. This has definitely been added as one of my fav Xmas movies.

Book Rating

This is a debut novel for the author and, in my opinion, a pretty successful one at that.

Gwen is trying to move on after the end of a long-term relationship and she does this by throwing herself into finding a new man by using a dating app. Unfortunately, things don't work out quite how she would want with her experiencing some pretty dodgy dates but when those dates start turning up dead, Gwen comes under the spotlight of the police.

Gwen, for me, wasn't the most likeable character and she did do things that made me roll my eyes at times but I did like her sarcasm and sense of humour which made me giggle.

The plot is intriguing and engrossing, the writing is easy to read and the pace is good. There are twists and turns which kept me guessing who the murderer was until the end and it all came together very nicely.

Overall, a pretty good debut novel and one I would recommend and thank you to Aria & Aries, Head of Zeus and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Don't Swipe Right.

My Sister, The Serial Killer
By Oyinkan Braithwaite
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When Korede's dinner is interrupted one night by a distress call from her sister, Ayoola, she knows what's expected of her: bleach, rubber gloves, nerves of steel and a strong stomach. This'll be the third boyfriend Ayoola's dispatched in, quote, self-defence and the third mess that her lethal little sibling has left Korede to clear away. She should probably go to the police for the good of the menfolk of Nigeria, but she loves her sister and, as they say, family always comes first. Until, that is, Ayoola starts dating the doctor where Korede works as a nurse. Korede's long been in love with him, and isn't prepared to see him wind up with a knife in his back: but to save one would mean sacrificing the other...

This was so good I don’t know why it took so long life just gets in the way! Makes you think how far would you go to help a sibling? Would you dispose of their victims? Gets you thinking do you love them enough?
