It was silly… not gonna lie it was actually kinda hilarious. 
This was soo poorly written, it was serving fanfiction but not in a good way. 

Not a fan of the

twin-c’est

Loved the Raven Boys - really enjoyed this sequel as well. It was faster paced than the first book and more focused on Ronan than the first book. I mean I just love all these characters so any time spent in this world with this cast is a good time. Very fun magic system, it never gets too unserious. 

Beautiful, heartbreaking, tragic and yet still hopeful at the end. This is the coming of age story of a young queer boy who is trying to make it in a world that seems systematically built against him. He gets every obstacle imaginable thrown in his direction and you feel the punches along side Young Mungo just wishing you could pull him out of the book and give him a hug. 

It's Orwell, what else is there to say. As a huge fan of Animal Farm, this is my second Orwell novel and I really enjoyed it. It's interesting to see how the language created in this novel has influenced the way we discuss censorship even today. It feels incredibly modern despite it's publication date. 

Holy shit this book was boring

This was a trip from start to finish - a bizarre but poignant deconstruction of the beauty and violence that is motherhood.  

Kinda mad I didn't read this when I was a teenager when it was first popular. It is great! Loveable cast of characters, intriguing mystery that keeps you guessing, and fun and easy to follow magic system. Highly recommend!

Writing was lyrical, beautiful despite the subject matter. I am not sure how I feel about this story, but I did enjoy the writing. 

I find that this is the way with Moshfegh's books - the story or characters are unsettling but the writing is beautiful. It's a really interesting juxtaposition. But, the interest factor doesn't always make for a good book. 

 

As far as celebrity memoirs read, I thoroughly enjoyed this. It was raw and emotional but with the hindsight of someone who has sat with this story for years. 

This is without a doubt the best memoir I have ever read. The voice is so clear and the story so harrowing, you can't help but walk with Jennette the whole way. As someone who struggled with disordered eating myself, this story was familiar but not revictimizing or triggering for me, it felt like hearing the testimony of an old friend.
