THE CHOICE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING: A Message From the Heart of My New Book ( BURIED THINGS CAN STILL BLOOM- The Awakening of KAEL)

In this heartfelt letter to readers, Isabella Joshua opens up about the most difficult scene she ever wrote: the moment her lead character, Kael Morrison, a man hollowed by grief, addiction, and betrayal chooses forgiveness over revenge. Part personal confession, part invitation, this post asks the question at the heart of her debut novel: what does unforgiveness truly cost us, and what becomes possible when we finally let it go? Available April 6, 2026.

Ever dealt with a fake of an "acting teacher?" Then you'll love this book! From the Literary Titan Review of THE DEATH OF A DREAM SELLER:

📚 “My soul is friends with yours…”

👍 I absolutely loved this book, and this author has become an auto read! It has Holton’s trademark humor and hijinks. Secret friends to lovers was also a nice touch. I also liked how the epilogue has all the couples from the series getting together, it was a nice parallel to her Wisteria Society ending.

***Thank you @netgalley @india.holton and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.***

👍 This book picks up right where book 2 left off. However, the lore really expands in this one! We finally start to get some answers, but there’s still some revelations to come. We also get some new POV. On to book 4!
👎 Thea was slightly reckless in going to Venice but hey. Plots gotta plot I guess 😂

👍 Happy movie release day!
Fun fact, before booksta, I had only DNF’d two books: Lord of the Flies and Wuthering Heights. Neither one was required reading in school, I was just bumming copies from my sister. I remember thinking the MC’s in Wuthering Heights were so unlikeable and having the same names was confusing.
The movie doesn’t look anything like the book though so maybe I should give it a chance? Maybe I should attempt a re-read while I’m at it 😬

📚 “ ‘Change is scary.’ ‘Regret is scarier.’”

👍 I picked this up bc of the dog on the cover but it was actually really cute! It’s a friends to lovers/second chance/best friend’s brother romance. It has some 🌶️. It also has only one bed trope.

👎 Third act break up
Tbh, the formatting on the POV was weird. It would switch in the middle of the chapter sometimes with no warning. No chapter break, or sub heading to be seen.

👍 This was fun. I actually liked the world build. Deducted points for dramatic third act break up cliffhanger though. On to the next bc of course it will be resolved! 🙃
