Sunday confessions feel a little like setting my coffee down and telling the truth before the week starts watching. This is the quiet corner of the internet where I admit what worked, what didn’t, what I overthought, and what I’m still carrying with me. No polish, no pretending, just honest thoughts from a tired, book loving brain trying to reset before Monday shows up uninvited.

Sunday Confessions #340
3 Stars
The Surrogate Mother by Freida McFadden starts off with a gripping premise that immediately hooked me, and I’ll admit the first half had me reading with real anxiety. But as the story unfolded, I couldn’t shake the deja vu. The twists, the setup, even some of the character dynamics felt eerily familiar, almost like I’d already read this exact plot from McFadden before. While the tension is solid and the pacing moves quickly, the originality just wasn’t there for me this time. Has anyone else noticed the similarities?

And that’s my Sunday, laid bare. Not tied up with a neat bow, not solved, just acknowledged. Confessions don’t have to fix anything to be useful. Sometimes they just make space to breathe before the next week begins. I’m closing this out with a little more clarity, a little less weight, and the quiet reminder that starting over can happen on any day, even a Sunday.
