 REVIEWS: IT ENDS WITH US BY COLLEEN HOOVER  I was nervous about purchasing BookTok's most popular title, "It Ends With Us," by Colleen Hoover.I was concerned that how I felt about this book would influence how I judged other books I discovered through TikTok in the future. I was even more nervous about writing a review for it because "It Ends With Us" raised the bar for not only all other new adult fiction books, but all fiction books in general. I now understand why this book and its characters have a cult following. The slow-burn story follows Lil...

 REVIEW: DON'T WORRY DARLING Harry Styles said, "This movie has a really cinematic quality to it. similar to a "go to the theatre" movie." Without making fun of Styles' interviewing abilities, he is correct! You should see this movie in theatres; I thought it was pretty good. The movie is very interesting and engaging, and Olivia Wilde delivers yet another outstanding performance, even though it doesn't quite live up to the promise of its amazing trailers.  Florence Pugh, who is the real star of this movie, is deserving of all the accolades for the role she played. I was enthralled by her in this film; she is amazing and really demonstrates her range as an actress. She was incredible, Whether you enjoy the film or not, Florence Pugh is a standout. She really carries the movie, and you are immediately drawn into the struggles and narrative of her character. One might argue that Pugh is the glue that binds the movie together because she dominates the scree...

 REVIEW: THE PROTECTOR ( NETFLIX SERIES) Turkish Netflix's first-ever original series! What a debut for Turkey on the vast internet platform. This is a gold-cast stepping stone! gold from Turkey, that is! It does have a few flaws in the beginning, though. True. But things continue to improve. You should change to the original language with English subtitles, in my opinion. You would enjoy the performance more because it's more satisfying, the conversation is funnier, and it's amazing. I adore Cagatay Ulusoy's portrayal of Hakan, the reluctant superhero torn between his own goals and others' expectations of him, between who he wants to be and what is actually expected of him. Despite his errors, Hakan is surprisingly likeable and human; you may want to hug and soothe him occasionally, but other times you may want to scold him severely. That's great; Zeynep will take care of that for you. I think it's great that Hakan is breaking the mould for what a super her...

The series skips three years in time in episode 18, giving episodes 18-28 a drastically different tone than episodes 1-17.

LITTLE WOMEN (2019) Directed by Greta Gerwig Genre: Romance, Drama, Coming of sage story, Historical film. The film is based on Louisa May Alcott's novel of the same name, and it tells the story of a group of sisters who grow up together and learn lessons about life, love, death, femininity, and the relationship that keeps them together through the years. Jo March (Saoirse Ronan) seeks success in her writing and wants to have her memoirs published. Most significantly, the picture stars Timothee Chalamet, a young charmer. The performances are excellent all around. Most of the characters, particularly Ms. Pugh, have comedic qualities. Ronan is fantastic, as she always is, and the writing does not let the characters down. It's crisp and humorous, with just the appropriate amount of emotional weight. There are solemn moments in this film as the sisters deal with a near-death experience, and the actors and Gerwig's director manage the spectrum of emotions admirably. The costume ...

A CRIME THRILLER BY NEMRAH AHMED Namal is a novel that stands out among all other Pakistani novels because of its intricate web of truth, deception, and, of course, the small stream of love that emerges among all these channels of existence. Namal, unlike other novels, revolves around the lives of various characters rather than focusing on a single character as the focal point of the entire plot. STORY The novel begins with a sense of mystery and suspense. Faris Ghazi, a young man, is arrested and charged with murdering his stepbrother. The only eyewitness to the crime, Zamar Yusuf, a just but harsh district attorney who also happens to be Faris' ex-teacher, accuses him. A complicated and well-planned murder turns these two into adversaries. Nemrah Ahmed has summarised Pakistan's complicated legal system in the most straightforward manner. While focusing on murder, she has managed to describe other illegal behaviours that occur in our daily lives and go mostly unreported. CHARA...

BEFORE SUNRISE (1995) Directed by  Richard Linklater Genre: Romance, Comedy, Indie film, Drama. Have you ever seen a movie that left you speechless because it was that good? This film astounded me with its positive, realistic depiction of romance and the true chemistry between the two lead characters. Before Sunrise is about two strangers, Jesse and Celine, who meet on a train on their journey from Budapest to Paris and, after a brief talk, begin to build a friendship. As they arrive in Vienna for a night before heading to Paris, Jesse and Celine get to know each other and develop love feelings for one another. While the subject is simple, the manner in which it is told is stunning. The tale is portrayed through the talks and dialogue exchanges that Jesse and Celine have throughout the film, and we learn more about these people as a result. The dialogue scenes are extremely well-written and do not appear staged or forced. It all sounds natural, because it is how two people in...

 BOOK REVIEW: HAALIM ( THE DREAMER) Author: Nemrah Ahmed  Genre: Crime, Thriller, Romance and Politics. If you could travel in time, past or future, which century would you travel to? Haalim, set in Malaysia, follows the lives of Taliya, Adam, and Fateh, each from a different background, with flaws and imperfections, fighting their own demons, overcoming shortcomings, and facing the repercussions of their acts, all while maturing and teaching us a million things. The female protagonist, Taliya, is a con artist. (If this line does not entice you to pick up the book, you should reconsider your interests.) Fateh is a politician whose primary goal is to become Prime Minister, despite having his own skeletons to conceal in the closet. Adam, on the other hand, is an ex-military guy who has accepted his ordinary existence and is looking for work until he meets Taliya and Fateh, who help him overcome his fears. Combine all of this awesomeness with a fantasy element, and you have the u...

She hasn't spoken anything since. Theo Faber is a a long-awaited criminal psychotherapist for the opportunity to work with Alicia and is committed to Make her talk. Review: I don't normally read thrillers, so I can assure you that this is not a spooky novel that will terrify you to death. It's wonderfully written, and the finale surprised me! I enjoy how this book delves into psychology, childhood trauma, and the human psyche because I find it fascinating. It just took a few pages for me to get into the story, and I couldn't put it down. Some thriller enthusiasts have told me that it was good but a little predictable, so keep that in mind if you've read a lot of thrillers recently. I didn't predict anything becaus...
