Sunday Confessions #330

 


It’s that time again. Sunday confession time. Today, I’m letting it all out: the books I couldn’t finish, the characters I didn’t vibe with, the plot twists that left me scratching my head. No judgment here, just a little corner of honesty where we can admit that not every book is a home run… and sometimes that’s perfectly okay.

Sunday Confessions #331





★★★☆☆

Sadly, this one fell victim to the classic second book slump. After such a strong start to the series, I had high hopes, but The Rebel and the Rose just didn’t deliver the same spark. The pacing dragged, the emotional stakes felt lower, and the magic that made the first book so captivating seemed to fade. It wasn’t terrible, but it definitely left me wanting more.

And that wraps up this week’s Sunday Confessions. Whether it’s loving a book everyone else hated, or struggling through one I wanted to adore, it’s all part of the reading journey. Every story, good, bad, or somewhere in between, teaches me something new about what I love most as a reader. Until next Sunday, may your TBRs be kind and your next read be worth confessing about.
