A Bit Much by Lyndsay Rush
5.0
some (of the many) things i love about @maryoliversdrunkcousin: her IG handle, we share the same birthday (may 3 taurus twins!!!), how she weaves humor and heart into everything she writes and packs PUNCHES in every poem, how she so deftly speaks the TRUTH and leaves you like YUUUUUPPPPPP as you read her words… she is GOOD and i love her so much and this book is a GEM. ✨
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️— amazing.

The Art of Catching Feelings by Alicia Thompson
2.0
i really wanted to love this one!!! i mean, it opens with a girl reading a book at a baseball game, which is very me coded! she gets drunk and heckles a batter who hears her and has a breakdown... she later DMs him to apologize (and spill her feels) but forgets to paste over the actual apology part, so when they start messaging back and forth (an unlikely thing from jump) he doesn’t know she’s the heckler... and ofc she never tells him!!!
THEN she gets a job as a sideline reporter and has to interview him IRL all the time but he doesn’t know she’s the same girl he’s messaging/falling for...
it’s just so silly and unrealistic but in a way that didn’t even feel very escapist or fun? it just seemed half-baked tbh and it took me out of the enjoyment of the storyline. bummer!!!

a romcom book about a romcom screenwriter-turned-actress in a romcom movie 😍
this is a fun slow-burn, second chance, enemies to lovers romance with the CLASSIC “let’s get it out of our system” trope we knowwwwww never works. 😏

Forest of Noise: Poems by Mosab Abu Toha
5.0
absolutely wrecked by this one. 😭❤️🩹
these words from a brilliant palestinian poet… i’m in awe. undone. weeping. completely gutted by how visceral these poems are. to read of life in gaza, of how utterly devastating the relentless war has been, of families literally blown apart… i don’t have words.
the alchemy of turning such atrocity into such art…
the strength it takes to sift through the wreckage to tell the story…
this is a must read.
we cannot turn away, we cannot forget, we cannot ignore. we must look and listen and love and learn. we must make this stop. we have lost too many already and we cannot stand to lose more.
@mosab_abutoha — thank you. i’m so sorry. we won’t stop until all are free.

I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue

when both @abbimbay and @anniebjones05 talk about a book, my ears perk up!
this was a fun one — an office comedy where jolene (an endearing but also frustrating loner) accidentally gets access to everyone’s emails and chats, opening up a whole@world@of snooping and secrets and deeper stories.
it trudged along at the start but i warmed up to this quirky cast, and found it overall pretty heartwarming (although at times annoying) — there’s just something about learning people’s stories under the surface that melts me every time.
