5.0
Couldn't sleep so I read this book, am now mortified lol.
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
from starting off with trying to make her comatose mother happy by saying she's 89 pounds to the intrusive examinations, ed instructions, and grooming this was a very powerful and heartbreaking memoir. truly wishing jennette all the best in her healing
My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh
2.0
I loved the concept & the first half but there is only so much “everyone hates me because i’m so pretty” I can enjoy
Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
4.0
this had sapphic sphere vibes & I loved so much of it (the tense & claustrophobic atmosphere was sooo well done I was so uncomfortable), but I felt the ending was lacking and didn’t wrap up several key plot points
Never Caught: The Washingtons' Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge by Erica Armstrong Dunbar
