Everything I Know about Love: A Memoir by Dolly Alderton

Go to review page

2.0

this book is not it.
idk why this is touted as the bible for young women in my generation but it really fell flat for me.

a posh rich white girl describes her struggles of dating and partying with her friends. all in all she knows in fact nothing seemingly about love and has no good advice ?besides i guess that no one knows what they're doing and to love your friends? i was honestly repetitively disgusted by her life and choices and think she's a shitty friend.

Iris's brother stole her from the front to keep her safe but she had to leave her rival turned lover Roman behind. She hasn't heard from him but Iris and Attie continue their work as wartime journalists, reporting on Dacre's frontline movements and heading near the danger but the war is coming to the city.

Meanwhile, Roman has
been kidnapped and brainwashed by Dacre. He becomes Dacre's right-hand man writing propaganda pieces for the newspapers until he starts receiving strange letters from his closet door. Roman and Irish reignite their penpal letters although this time Roman's in the dark and slowly remembering his love.
Bride by Ali Hazelwood

i dunno how to rate this one man. i cant believe omegaverse stuff is mainstream popular literature now this is truly a cursed and wild timeline we live in.

overall the story and romance was fun and spicy. i do love an ali hazelwood she could honestly write any romance and i'd love it. I loved the vampire x werewolf romance it creates an interesting dynamic. 

this was fullll of tropes and i was here for it: arranged wedding, forced proximity, scenting, imprinting, spicy feeding, hurt/comfort, caring for ill loved one, not admitting feelings, loss of control, knotting 💀 , he falls first/harder, enemies to lovers, miscommunication, forbidden love, shut up kiss, bodyguard.
How Do You Live? by Genzaburō Yoshino

3.0

i read this for the release of the new Miyzaki film but honestly don't really feel like it's all that related. It was also sorta boring and not as insightful/inspiring as i thought it would be.

It follows a young boy in Japan growing up as he deals with the death of his father and growing apart from his best friend (who he's mean to). This is paired with letters from his Uncle, giving him guidance.

i think perhaps i am just not the demographic for this book and it would be insightful or good for a young kid/japanese boy.

i really enjoy the concept and characters in this story but i do find the lore a bit difficult to follow and that means it would be even more difficult for the children's demographic that it's meant to be.

this was a fun sequel! I wasn't quite sure how there could be a sequel to the first one but once the problem for the plot was created at the beginning it was yet again another fun adventure
