Welcome to Litsy!

This is an adorable book in which nothing really happens. It might have irked me at another point. But for now it was a welcomed cozy read.

This is probably my most reread book of the past few years. This time I‘m facilitating a book club discussion on it. I am really looking forward to discussing it and seeing everyone‘s takeaways.

Fast read! Sci-fi cozy mystery with humor, warmth, and flair—I gulped this one down in one day. Love it and can‘t wait for the next installment of Detective Dorothy Gentleman.

3.5⭐️/5⭐️

This was cute but a little predictable. Had a fun time with it. Thanks @Reggie for the rec! 🤗

I didn't read much of the blurb around this and so went in almost blind.
I found the story line very readable, it kept me guessing and imagining all the way through. I liked how self punishing Isa could be, her determination to simply not have fun yet her curiosity about those that do.
The brothers are really rounded characters and I liked the small amount of background we learnt. Eva was awesome! The history was unknown to me and very sad.

Entertaining! A refreshing take on the Cinderella story, with a strong heroine. Another excellent choice for #SundayBuddyRead with @TheBookHippie

Obsessed! Yes, this book is about two very different sisters, but it‘s also intricate and layered with many more themes. I feel that many people can relate to Sigrid with today‘s current events. I teared up so much during the second half and felt empty yet hopeful after finishing it. That may not be selling the novel, but it really is a great read if you‘re open to facing hard subjects. I‘m a huge fan of dark and dry humor so this was great.

I love how Yang approached each novella in this series with a different style and format, and how each was told from a different character's perspective. The theme of resistance was powerful and timely. Yang incorporated themes of gender, class, and sexuality, as well. Overall, these were intriguing reads. I'd love to read more by Neon Yang.
