People Like us By Carol Ann Eastman







This book… oh this book. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever read. Raw, daring, and achingly beautiful in ways I didn’t even know I needed. The world these characters live in feels terrifyingly close to our own… where power that be shapes the knowledge we learn, what we consume, where we work, how much we make, and, worst of all, who we’re allowed to love.🧐

“Do you ever feel like you’re just watching your life happen, but you’re not the one in charge of it?”

That line hit me like a punch to the soul.

What moved me the most wasn’t just the plot; it was Cissy and Riot characters as a whole. These characters, so young yet so brave, questioning everything they’ve been told, trusting their instincts, and stumbling into truths about themselves that cracked my heart wide open. Their hope, their fear, their desperate desire to simply be. I felt every bit of it.

I laughed with them. I cried for them. I rooted for them with every page, my chest tightening with that fierce, aching wish for them to reach their own finish line together. The love, the struggle, the courage… it all felt so real.

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”

Carol Ann, if you ever read this… I am waiting..impatiently, desperately, lovingly for Part 2. My heart won’t rest until I know how this love story ends. πŸ™πŸ½πŸ«ΆπŸ½

Not for headlines by Armani Noel




Snopysis: 

Catfished from a celebrity's account?!

Yep, I'm the idiot who believed the sexting DMs were actually from Logan Fox.

Grammy-winning heartthrob, permanent resident of my playlists, and way out of my league.

Logan would never be interested in a waitress twelve years younger, still living with her parents, with dreams bigger than her paycheck.

So I thought…

Until the real Logan got word, and an apology dinner landed me in his billion dollar loft, his lips locked on mine.

He wanted to keep us quiet. Low key was fine with me… until photos leaked and the internet discovered who I was.

Comments were savage, Logan’s team wanted me gone. My accidental fairy tale trended for all the wrong reasons.

Should I disappear…or step into the headlines with the man I’m falling for?

A steamy, laugh-out-loud celebrity romance with catfishing, an age gap, secret dating, and a waitress who refuses to be rewritten.

Okay, picture this: you slide into your celebrity crush’s DMs and he actually replies, and then you find out you’ve been CATFISHED. 😭
Like… what do you even do? I’d personally die of pure embarrassment and evaporate into the digital void!

But THEN said celeb finds out and decides to make it up to you? Insert every romantic comedy montage ever. This book, my friends, is the whole damn package: heart, humor, heat, and Hallmark level happiness! πŸ’•✨ I was HOOKED from page one and didn’t come up for air until I hit the last line.

Logan Fox = “looks like sin and sings like salvation.” πŸŽ€πŸ”₯
Grace = “a woman who works three times as harder than everyone else.. and still holds the door for the valet guys.” πŸ‘

Woo chile... Logan Fox was 1000% SWOON WORTHY. Like, I'm pretty sure my Kindle just filed an insurance claim for third degree burns.

and that ending.. “Cue me ugly crying.”

Thank you, Armani Noel, for blessing my diluting my wicked heart with bookπŸ₯ΉπŸ’Œ You’ve officially convinced me to DM my own celebrity crush… and maybe pray he doesn’t block me or file a restraining order πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚

Laugh-out-loud moments ✅
