This book will make you reflect about yourself, society, and it will also make you hate men more than you already do. Another incel parasiting off of a woman.

The short stories included in this book mainly dealt with the theme of misogyny and how women often deals with it.
I felt such fury with the guy in the first story, sadness with the second one, and terror with the last story. I suppose the 3rd story is also some sort of cautionary tale???? Idk but it scared and angered me.

“Because I still can’t bring myself to ask my mother
if the collateral damage was
the stretch marks, or the children.”
Rao’s collection covers a vast number of themes. Some of the selected poems echoed in me deeply.

To think that this was a rejected piece from Sylvia Plath!
I think this was brilliantly written. This is such an interesting take on life, death, and maybe the afterlife.

Gonna go listen to Psychopomp while sobbing now. I really enjoyed the audiobook. Zauner’s voice was soothing.

This book is heavy on the heart and the mind.
Everybody surrounding Yeong-he is problematic. I felt helpless while reading.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

Two words: slow burn.
This book is like a barely used A/C. It will barely give off any air. Not until Part 2, i think?? Schwab definitely took her time to build Addie’s journey that it almost became dragging and tiresome. Thank goodness the prose is easy to digest and that the characters are interesting enough, especially when Darkness started to appear more often.
Overall, loved the writing as usual. Liked the latter part of the book. And that ending??? Girllll 😏😏😏
