virginia woolf is a genius and soooo ahead of her time 🙏 

the way she writes about womanhood and gender never fails to impress me AND HER PROSE OH MY GODDD

this book was also lowkey funny at times which I didn’t expect??? 
I wish I could meet virginia woolf, she seems to have such a great sense of humour, I think we’d get along rly well 🥰🥰

definitely my fav book of hers so far but I cant wait to read her other stuff (I know that I’ll LOVE a room of ones own)

I don’t know what kind of drugs jen beagin took to come up with the plot of this bc there’s NO WAY any person sane person could’ve come up with this 😭😭😭 
this shit disturbed me on such a high level but the way it was written also make me giggle a couple of times idk if that’s a good or a bad thing 
I’ll probably forget about this rly quickly but I’d still recommend it to anyone who enjoys weird girl fiction and ottessa moshfegh books 🔥🔥

I actually think that this might be the first wlw book that I’ve read that doesn’t end with one of them dying and almost has a … happy ending???? 😨😨 

anways this was such a good read, I loved the historical aspect of this book sooo much, the 50s are such an interesting decade to me and I think it’s so important to read about queer stories set in different time periods, it really makes me appreciate how far we’ve come 🙏

also I haven’t read a young adult book in sooo long, I forgot how good they can be ?? 😭

I don’t know why I thought it would be a good idea to read this book bc I’m TERRIFIED of deep bodies of water but I’m so glad I did bc this was so good ‼️

this is gonna sound rly ridiculous but towards the end this book reminded me a lot of the casual mv by chappell roan
I HOPE SOMEONE GETS WHAT I MEAN 😭😭

first of all I’m the #1 daisy defender she did NOTHING WRONG

now I completely understand the importance of this book and why it's praised so much, the writing was sooo great and I really enjoyed the setting but I just couldn't really connect to any of the characters 😔

I’m still glad that I read this but there are much better classics imo 
emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

this isn’t the type of genre I usually read so I didn’t have high expectations but this was such a pleasant surprise??

like I genuinely learned so many important lessons by reading this book and it really made me appreciate my life and the people in it 😭
dolly alderton is like the big sister I never had, I need to read her other stuff as well 

“nearly everything I know about love, I’ve learned in my long-term friendships with women” ‼️‼️‼️‼️

I used to think that people who say “I couldn’t put this book down🤪🤪” are exaggerating but NOW I GET WHAT THEY MEAN
I finished this book only 10 minutes ago but I’m pretty sure that it’s the best thing I’ve read this year so far, I need like 3-4 business days to recover from it 🙏
the writing is ?? just unlike anything I’ve ever read and I love how the author touches on the themes of beauty, love and death. 
the way the story unfolds is sooo well written + don’t even get me started on the narrator, I could talk about her for hours 
anyone who hasn’t read this is definitely missing out xx

I’m not even 18 yet but reading sally rooney books has made me absolutely terrified for my twenties 😍

jokes aside I love her writing so much, I never understood why people get mad about her not using quotation marks, it’s one of my favourite things about her books tbh

i also LOVE how flawed all of her characters are, they just feel so real yk??? I also think that she is so good at writing bisexual characters ESPECIALLY WOMEN oh my god
words cant describe how exited I am for intermezzo 🙏

jane austen is literally the funniest person ever I cant believe this book is real 😭 the last line had me gagged she’s so iconic for that. 
also I relate to catherine on such a deep level she’s the definition of a silly teenage girl !!!
she read a couple too many horror books and then somehow convinced herself that the father of her fiancee is a murderer I love her so much.

t’s insane to me how dostoyevsky managed to break my heart in only 86 PAGES.
„And I do nothing but dream every day that at last I shall meet someone. Oh, if only you knew how often I have been in love in that way.“ like hello??? 😭😭
I never thought that I’d relate to a character from a book that was written almost 200 years ago but here we are
