This really gave "crawdads" vibes but a whole lot more wholesome. (in the end) obviously there was a bunch of trauma before we got to the ending. 
Well written and pacing was good, did find it a bit repetitive in parts, but it was a 300 page book so it's not too bad.

Very funny, but also bit strange, cool chaptet about cats.

Really enjoyed this, thought it would be quite fluffy but found it much deeper than initially expected. Really wonderful.

Enjoyed this more than I thought books been languishing on my shelves for nearly 5 years and I picked it up on a whim.

I thought this was good I enjoyed the character growth and all their perspectives and how all the characters know each other but also don't. 

Worth a go.

This was a super cute rom com, i like that she takes her dad's ashes on a tour of the shopping forecast and learns about herself. It was a very easy chill read and I reckon you can't go much wrong with it

It made me laugh a bit, it was funny, but like, it was about an office so, if you don't work/haven't worked in a normal office I don't know how much this would translate. 

It was alright I don't know that I'll be recommending it. 


dark sad fast-paced

This is quite short and not as good as the film as it's less coherent.

I enjoyed it and it's short, but it felt quiet bitty to me.

A really good look at grief and how losing someone is an imperfect, and how losing someone is complex and fraught with ups and downs.

DID NOT FINISH: 60%

It just wasn't very good. 
Very repetitive and needed it to get to the point and it never felt that it did. 
I was over halfway through and still didn't really get why I was supposed to care/what the plot even was.
Got bored. So DNF. 
Not for me.
