The Friend by Sigrid Nunez
5.0
The easiest it’s ever been to click the 5 star button. I cried for a good 10 minutes after finishing this.
Vladimir by Julia May Jonas
4.0
This is a messy, super fun, romp of a book. 58 year old, lusty woman working in academia driven by obsession. I enjoyed my experience of reading this so much however I must say I do feel it have the aspect of some debut novels where we want to put all our ideas into one story. This book is doing a lot. But mostly I was here for the wild ride. Also interesting reflections on aging, power dynamics, depression, shame and I appreciate that the main character has some unpopular opinions for 2022. Loved.
