fave from a fave

i’m back on my literary/contemporary lit

yea…i will in fact be finishing this in 24h

god…this book is filled with powerful scenes—studies of life and adolescence, but also those referential thoughts and self-reflective feelings that never quite go away

this is so fucking good. perfect classic encapsulating writing. i’m there & i’m intruding, i’m omniscient & outsider. so good

MEG FREAKIN CABOT

I’m not even reading this book rn, but I just need to elevate to a new level of importance

I thought this was going to be a silly, fun novella—perfect for the season, but consider me surprised. These words are delectable. Poetic prose-esque magic littered across the page. They’re eating me up, and I am really enjoying it.

Honestly, there’s a pretty brutal edge to some of the sentiment, which I can also appreciate because life is rough. I respect when that is acknowledged in the media I encounter.

this is wild. i love messy characters 😭

that was the perfect opening story

the strange; the uncanny, alien, unsettling. that’s for me. i’m going to eat this right up

not what i expected….i love it!

Some of the writing is a little clunky, but this book is so fucking funny. I’ve actually found myself making a noise or covering my mouth or pressing my lips together. It’s kind of weird how entertained I am by it.

My parents. would be. speechless. if they knew 1) what this book was about 2) how much I am loving it!!!!

Going through a chaotic time that is majorly slowing down my reading BUT this book has me on ⏩

OMGGGG press books and accept, gifted books purely off of the cover of the title and the description. I think I’m just not good at remembering author names in the same way that I’m not good at remembering bands unless they’re fully cemented in my brain.

But I want to download this one and the name just felt so familiar … girl, I am so excited this is definitely getting read right now

I wondered why the author sounded familiar. I actually didn’t read You, Again because I heard such mixed reviews, so I’m very curious going into this one. Perhaps it convinced me to read all of this author’s releases.

Totally forgot I had this title to read. 10 days to read it…and I haven’t had time to read anything at all lately LOLLLLL

Catch me reading at the ball game

I am not vibing with the FMC

This book just has me a bit confused because I don’t know any woman who refers to her lower body as a “groin” that’s such a masculine concept to me. And also, her name is Clarence. I was almost excited for a gay romance and now I’m just confused

Hilarious & well written. This is going to be a good one.

wow, this is a long book…

The way this book is written is really fucking funny. It’s like satire, but not…LOL

I absolutely adorable Shea Ernshaw & I am so so excited to read her new book.
