HAPPY HOUR | Marlowe Granados {book reflection}
This book follows two socialites: Isa and Gala. They are traveling from London to New York for the summer and recounting their experiences. During the day, they are dirt poor but at night they go to parties, bars, and mingle with movie stars, models, and rich people. They pretty much use their wit and charm to have a blast and survive in New York!
“Sometimes when you think of friendship, you wonder how it started and what keeps it together. Today, I couldn’t think of any reason but memories. Unmoored and drifting, we were only holding on to each other for the sake of shared history.”
This is definitely a hot girl summer book. Its written in a diary format and it feels like you’re gossiping with the main character LOL- There is absolutely no plot but there areee tons of vibes ;)
Even though not much was happening, there was a lot of discussion on friendship, boys/boy drama, work & hussle culture, and the meaning to life. I honestly thoroughly enjoyed it.
There were a few moments in the book where I had to stop reading and just stare at the wall because I was starting to tear up. (It’s not even a sad books so Idk how to explain that…)
I would also like to say that I did alternate between listening to the audiobook and reading the physical book. I typically don't listen to audiobooks because I tend to not like them but I LOVED this audio. The voice was so unique and eccentric and matched the narrator/main character so well. If you are having some trouble getting into this book I would highlyyy recommend the audio!
Anyway, I would recommend picking this one up especially with summer being around the corner!
