So funny, and so cringey! The story of a young woman's life as told entirely in nagging letters to her from meaningful characters, including family members, her exercise machine, her snack food and her IUD. It's very funny in an over-the-top way, but kind of unsatisfying as a “novel,“ since there's not really any resolution. I highly recommend the full cast audiobook, which really brings out the humor (and the cringe!)
A very Happy Christmas to my Litsy family! 💕📚🎄 I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, filled with joy, love, and BOOKS! 🥰
Ranks among my favourite book dedications. ☺️
I was surprised at what a pageturner this was, though I do tend to love epistolary novels. There's a smidge of a mystery element and a smidge of suspense, but mainly it's a portrait of a somewhat cantankerous woman nearing the end of her life, who discovers that it's not too late to create stronger relationships, help others, allow herself to receive help and resolve some of the question marks that have haunted her. Not soppy, just really moving.
Started this last night and was up past 2 reading... I finally had to take a sleeping pill.
pickBeautiful, cozy underwater fantasy told through letters. I loved all four correspondents, the slow‑unfolding mystery, and the queer‑normative world. Read it by the sea and it was magical. The reveal is satisfying but left me wanting more—and that cliffhanger! Grateful book two was coming soon. A gentle, luminous delight. 🌊✨📬
pickWow, that packed a punch! I flew through this beautiful epistolary novel, with tears in my eyes for the last 20 pages. I have a lot to say about the book but I think it would be better for you to go into it without a lot of preconceived notions. It‘s not a long book but it‘s one that will stick with me. 💗💗
Beautiful day for taking Cosmo out for a walk or two while listening to the tagged audiobook (it‘s really well done with multiple narrators)🐶🐾🍁🍂 #BeautyBreak
Not feeling well so I prescribed myself some ice cream and light reading until medicine kicks in.
