If you like Ali Hazelwood's other books I think you will enjoy 'Not In Love'. Be aware that this book is definately more adult as it covers some more serious topics but also more frequent and intense intimacy. Overall, I enjoyed reading this! It isn't the best book in the world, nor is it trying to be, but I had fun on the ride. I read this as a buddy read with my best friend, and we were kicking our feet and giggling as per usual with AH.

A lovely little (audio)book that I would describe as ~soft philosophy~. I enjoyed the four different stories interweaving with each other and the opportunity to reflect on what I would do in a similar situation. Not a five star, but one I will be thinking about for a while I believe. The main issue I had with it was the misogynistic descriptions of some of the women that add nothing to the story. The first story was probably my least favourite as it fell most victim to this. Anyways, I'd defo recommend this to my friends as a quick, heartwarming read that invites you to think about your own life in a kind way.

Wow! That is all I have to say.

I read this in three settings but it took me a month to actually finish it. Part of me understands why it is so famous, but I didn't read anything as life changing as I expected to - though that is possibly a fault on my part for having high expectations. I was familiar with the concept of a man waking up as an insect but had no knowledge of the text beyond that. The ending surprised me, and I did enjoy the process of reading this, but we shall see if it affects my thinking in the long term. I am glad it was not very long. If it was the length of a full novel I highly doubt I would have been persueded to read it.

An excellent audio adaptation of Good Omens! I was delighted to hear some familiar voices amongst the cast, and the fantastic sound design helped immerse me into the story further. If you are a fan of the show, I think you will enjoy this dramatisation.
