pickI enjoyed this more than I expected to. Setting aside the somewhat frank discussions of suicide (bc that theme prevails throughout and if that‘s too much for you, maybe avoid this book) - the realistic portrayals of human vulnerability was really well done and heartfelt.
It reminded me a lot of The Midnight Library. I feel like if you liked this and haven‘t read that one, you should. 💖

pickMy favorite book of 2024! The audiobook was perfect. Great narrator. Great story. Lives up to the hype. 🩷🤍🩷
But we can‘t always be what we want every second. And that‘s okay. That‘s just life, you know? 💍💔
pickI liked this so much more than I expected! Despite the plot line, it‘s not at all cheesy or sappy even though it‘s such a heartwarming reading experience. I loved the dry humor throughout and the characters are fantastic. I honestly related to Lila‘s predicament so deeply, and was rooting for Phoebe the whole time. 🩵
Moving on to my in-person book club pick. We meet the first weekend in Feb. BOTM audio referral credit coming in clutch for me! 😅
It feels like everyone‘s reading this book right now. ☕️💅🏻
pickOh, the joys of families in enforced proximity for a celebration! All the ways they can provoke, irritate and misunderstand each other without being bad people, just people with different outlooks and personalities. I enjoyed the story. I would have enjoyed it even more if it had taken a less obvious direction towards the end. But at least it wasn‘t tied up in too neat a bow.
pickSometimes, when you‘ve got a lot of stuff going on IRL, you just want to read a hilarious romp about “rich people problems” and this book was absolutely perfect for that! All of the characters were likable, no matter how completely out of touch they were, and it helped distract me from some intense events.
