Honestly so cute, I think I’ve come to the conclusion that my favourite romances focus on more than just the two characters in a romantic connection. I feel like I really got to know every character in this book quite well and such a cozy read. Would def whip out again next Thanksgiving time

Idk man doesn’t seem super realistic to just up and leave a job where you are highly responsible (head pastry chef at a small inn) just because u find out some bad news. I hate this trope of the protagonist always running away from their problems like can we have a constructive conversation. Also you’re leaving your pregnant friend??? All seems a tad too self centred to me

I’ve rlly been on my girl leaves the big city for a quaint little town and meets a farmer during autumn book kick and not upset about it because it feels like living in a Hallmark movie. With that said I’ve been averaging one book every two days so might need to split it up with some more substantial literary fic. Enjoying this one quite a bit so far!

Genuinely went into this book blind (team judge a book by the cover)…safe to say I’m so incredibly sad

Incredibly raw. Reminds me so much of Speak in terms of protagonist (quirky outcast middle school girl). I find it interesting how protective I felt for her from the start.

at first was like is she on drugs…is this book of the horror genre and I was unaware…then I realized she’s an unreliable narrator and that’s the whole point. Also just me or is she in love with Ava

So far pre good. Moshfegh’s writing style is entrancing. She’s also so creative with her descriptions, I feel like I’m IN the book it’s insane. With this said, I’ve been reading it in bed before I go to sleep, and I cannot say this has been great for my mental. Depressing book and the way the main character sees the world is so convoluted and is making me spiral but cheers!

Super enjoying this book so far — I love how it appeals to a modern audience while still maintaining the aesthetics of the regency era, so, so far so good.

Only complaint is call me pretentious but having this cover out while I’m reading on the subway is rlly making me confront my inner misogyny because I don’t like thinking abt the chick lit allegations I’m def getting.

boi I don’t know if it’s because I’ve only been reading romance recently but I’m finding it hard to get into this. Also the fact that Kya is like 7 years old at the beginning of the book so it’s not exactly relatable. Loved the movie though and heard this was better so I’m sticking with it.

I found the beginning to be a little slow compared to pwmov, but now that I’m IN in the book, the banter between Charlie and Nora takes the cake over Alex and Poppy…hate to say. Like I’m laughing out loud.
