@jennymustard.bsky.social's novel of a young woman's early student life in Stockholm as she desperately wants to escape unhappy years of bullying in a small town and find meaningful relationships is exquisitely observed.

i loved maggie nelson’s new book (to no one’s surprise).
written with more or less perfect emotional pitch: melancholia balanced with humour, grief and pain tempered by joy. full of warmth, wisdom, and weirdness.
