Reine was a recovering alcoholic who started a journey on making amends. Her past was chasing her and she had no choice but to confront it.
The journey was more than she bargained for, it was evident it would either make or break her.
What happened next was a series of occurrences that gave her more understanding about herself and her life; resurfaced nightmare in a form of rape that now was haunting her, forgiving her narcissistic mother to get closures, forging unexpected friendships and found extraordinary love that lasted a lifetime.
Her world was about to get more chaotic.

BOOK REVIEW: Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Another one of favourites.
A deeply emotional and powerful story about friendship, guilt, redemption, and the impact of personal and political betrayals.
It follows the life of Amir, a privileged Pashtun boy, and his relationship with Hassan, the son of his father’s Hazara servant.
Amir is a complex, often flawed and morally ambiguous character, heavily influenced by his crave for validation from his father.
Whereas Hassan is an unforgettable figure of innocence and devotion. Loyal to a fault. He is often idealised, low key valued and validated by Amir’s father for a hidden reason that Amir never understood.
Baba, Amir’s father is somewhat the centre of the internal emotional conflict for Amir in his journey from betrayal to atonement as well as his view and treatment to Hassan.
It is a story of redemption. It is heart-wrenching and relatable, underlining themes of guilt, loyalty, and the long shadow of childhood decisions.
Set against the backdrop of Afghanistan’s turbulent history – from the fall of the monarchy to the rise of the Taliban.
It also displays the ethnic tensions between Pashtuns and Hazaras, class inequality, and the trauma of social and political depth as the background.

BOOK REVIEW: Animal Farm by George Orwell
One of my favourite books that I think still carries weight in especially today’s society
As a quick quote from Nolan’s Batman Trilogy – “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
Mr. Jones, the drunken farmer, represents a tyrannic authority figure. ld Major, the wise old pig who inspires the rebellion, represents the oppressed
At first all the animals are happy and behind the rebellion hundred percent. The pigs take role as the leaders because they are considered the smartest.
Two important characters and a symbol that important in the story are:
Napoleon, the pig who seizes control of the farm. Ambitious and ruthless, he uses propaganda, terror, and lies to consolidate his authority. He rewrites history to glorify himself.
Boxer, the strong but simpleminded workhorse, embodies the exploited working class (the proletariat). His mantras, “I will work harder” and “Napoleon is always right,” reflect the blind loyalty that allows tyrants to remain in power. Boxer’s tragic end — sent to the glue factory after he collapses from overwork — highlights how oppressive regimes discard even their most devoted supporters when they are no longer useful.
A windmill was used as a symbol of progress and shared prosperity, becomes a tool of manipulation and endless toil. Its repeated destruction and rebuilding show how rulers keep the working class occupied with false promises while maintaining their own power.
George Orwell’s Animal Farm is not just a story about animals on a farm. It represents the corruption of power.
A timeless warning that reminds us about a universal warning about how ideals of equality and justice can be corrupted when power is unchecked.
Animal Farm is a masterwork of political satire and social commentary. It reveals uncomfortable truths about human nature, power, and the ease with which propaganda can manipulate the masses.
Even decades after its publication, Animal Farm remains a chilling reminder: all too often, some are more equal than others.

Nick and Nora had been married for years, on the surface they looked happy, but there was something unusual about Nick’s behaviours these days that Nora did not understand. He changed and he didn’t, unannounced, unpredictably.
While she was trying to uncover the reason behind it, someone irresistible from her past came, to interrupt and complicate her life. What she discovered later was more than what she bargained for.
What unravelled next was more than a decade of unfinished business. Lies, loyalty, friendship and love all tangled up.
Closures waiting to happen.
