I JUST finished Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid and I had to come here and write about it because there is a line at the end that made me put it down because I was ugly crying alone on the couch
My first TJR read but not my last. What a beautiful book

Earlier this week I read Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman
A fun Hollywood romance and light read.
I’m enjoying these trips into the romance section more and more.

This week I read Bunny by Mona Awad
Heathers meets The Secret History meets Weird Science
There are so many things I can say about this book but I’ll settle for this
Mona Awad writes the kind of stunning prose that makes me wonder if I’ll ever create something as beautiful.
4/5 ⭐️s

I’ve received several DMs and emails pretending to offer a boost or big break to my writing career.
I believe in the kindness of strangers, but it seems that there is no short supply of people attempting to take advantage of hopeful writers.
Be careful, everyone

This week I read The Secret History by Donna Tartt
There’s so much I can say about this book but what sticks with me is how Tartt manages to justify murder as the only option her characters have and just like them I didn’t question it until it was too late.
Great read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This week, on a recommendation from my sister, I read Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld.
A fun time that was incredibly well paced and so so difficult to put down
⭐️⭐️⭐️-1/2

This week I finally caught up on the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by finishing This Inevitable Ruin.
I’m so amazed at what Matt Dinniman has created with this series - the first book was an incredible delight and they just keep getting better.
