I first read Normal People in the summer of 2021. I absolutely loved Rooney's writing, her dialogue and her social commentary. The situationship between the two main characters kept me reeling until the end- I was STRESSED. So when I originally finished it, I wasn't stoked, but I continue to think about this book all the time. One day I'll be brave enough for a re-read. <3

I loved getting to learn about the Coast Salish peoples through Sasha's point of view. America is painted so differently when told through an Indigenous perspective; still beautiful, but so much loss. This book is a must read, in my opinion, if you live in the Pacific Northwest. Plus, the cover is gorgeous. 

I LOVED THIS!!!! I can't wait for the second one to come out <3 Might try Filthy Rich Vampire next

The last fifty pages of this book fucking rocked. Baba Yellowlegs is a stupid name. Chaol is a bitch. Dorian is babygirl. Thank the wyrd I'm done with this book.

i LOVED this book. It shares the perspective of Daniel, head chef, Julie, his wife, and Hannah, a waitress and victim of the chef. Daniel's perspective seemed so real to so many men around us post MeToo Movement- falling into false victimhood, in denial of the harm they cause. The end had me in tears. Hannah and Julie's story really hit home for me. Beautiful, tragic, intense. What a fucking amazing novel.
