i took a nap and now i’m wide awake trying to chip away at the length of this


i kinda agree with neely—we really don’t know who helen lawson is just yet. but i like that. i like that the writing has some subtle noir tones and there’s definitely a pinky hue in my mind when i’m reading

so helen isn’t bipolar???

a few more pages before she shift started

reading this while eating a mcdonald’s bagel and a black coffee like i’m from new york (this book makes me want to move to new york)

just a couple pages while i was waiting on my mcdonald’s breakfast on my way to work


helen sounds like a a hollywood star starting to fade away—old, arrogant, and desperate to cling to her youth by getting rid of the young women who are keen on replacing her. i have empathy for her, but sympathy is another thing.

i would read more but i have work in the morning and i just finished streaming beyond the valley of the dolls for my all-girl stoner discord stoner so i’m pretty beat


also, anne, you’re not fooling anybody—you do not want that man. shame. if i was her, i’d feel like i hit the powerball.

when ur bestie was the first to fall asleep so you try and make it to the next month (chapter) before you know out too


i don’t know what is in this book, but my body just refuses to put it down! might i say top 10 favorite books of 2026??? it’s too early to tell but i’m falling in love already—god it makes me yearn for new york… and i’ve never been!!
