It’s time to spill the tea—bookish style. Every now and then, I come across a read that surprises me, disappoints me, or leaves me with opinions that might not be the popular vote. Book Confessions is my little corner to share the good, the meh, and the downright unexpected moments in my recent reads. Whether it’s a beloved author who missed the mark or a hyped book that actually delivered, here’s what I’ve been dying to confess.

A Scar in the Bone
Sophie Jordan★★☆☆☆
Sophie Jordan, you cannot lose a main character for 75% of the book and then expect us to care in the end. A Scar in the Bone dragged with a sluggish pace, making it difficult to stay invested, and by the time the missing character resurfaced, any emotional weight had long since evaporated. The story felt hollow, lacking the tension and engagement needed to sustain interest. While Jordan's writing has its moments, the structure of this novel ultimately made it frustrating rather than compelling.

Reading isn’t always about loving every page—it’s about the journey, the surprises, and even the occasional letdown. These bookish confessions may not be glowing reviews, but they’re honest reflections from one reader to another. Whether you agree, disagree, or have your own confessions to share, I’d love to hear your thoughts. After all, the best part of reading is talking about it—flaws and all.
