Hey Everyone,
As you know, I have been trying this new thing for me where I tell you about a book I loved and share a free ebook link to that book if possible.
Why I picked this book?
I started the year with the hope that I would review a book on Bookstagram daily as I did in 2024 for some months, but I didn’t have the time or reading the novels I would have enough to say for a full review, and I haven’t gotten over my pet peeve of reading a short review. The book I wanted to write about is Speed Rail by Lainey Davis. It is from the series Bridges and Bitters so far, I have read two out of the four, so I bit the bullet and downloaded the next two since I gave four stars to the two I read.
We have Piper and Cash; Cash has always dreamt of becoming an actor, but when his girlfriend became pregnant, she didn’t want anything to do with the kid, so Cash’s life changed from day to night. Piper has always dreamed of becoming a trainer to help mums get fitter while improving their overall well-being since she believed that it was the cause of her losing her mum at an early age.
First Lines:
I’m up, I’m up. Seriously, I’m up. If I keep telling myself this lie it’ll eventually feel true, right? My five o’clock alarm feels cruel this time of year, when the days are getting shorter and the sun is rising a hell
of a lot later.
I drag my hands down my face and sit up, fumbling with my phone as I scramble to turn off the alarm before it wakes my daughter. The only thing worse than getting up this early to work on my side hustle would be to get up this early and not be able to work on my side hustle because Ruby needs my full attention.
Goodreads Blurb:
My life revolves around just one thing: my daughter. I don’t have the time or energy for anything else—not my foolish dream of an acting career and definitely not the annoying woman who opened a gym in the warehouse behind my garage.
Piper’s a menace to society, between her loud music, hurling weights around like a shot putter, and her building that is definitely not up to code.
Unfortunately, my kid thinks she’s the best thing since unlimited screen-time. It’s getting harder to avoid Piper when my daughter keeps going over there to ask about hair braids and sports teams.
Maybe I took things too far when I called the building inspector on Piper, but she can’t keep bringing clients into that fire hazard of a gym. And I can’t have her behind my house all the time, clad in spandex and making me think about things I have no business wishing for.
I’m done with relationships. Whatever I feel for Piper is passing. If I drive her away, I can get back to raising my daughter in peace. Anything else is just a pipe dream…
