This is a soft DNF! I will be back for this book, but I am not in the mood for this right now… I think Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow has thrown me into a book slump (let’s hope not)
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
5.0
Wow! I had to sit with this book for a moment to determine my rating. I’m still going between my ratings, so don’t be shocked if this somehow bumps up in rating (or bumps down). I ate this book up super quickly and I loved it, but there were some things that I didn’t like (which isn’t a bad thing no book is perfect…) It definitely had a pacing issue at some points, the ending was unsatisfying, the conversation about the creative process for making a game was SUPERRRR interesting as a gal who LOVED watching gamers!! Super strong book that made me feel incredibly confident in picking up other literary fiction, third person POV books in the future!

I get why this is called The Bad Friend! Literally what is this book…

I just want to say that I love reading indie authors books, especially when there is POC in the novels (and written by a POC); however, I think the book felt too Tiktok-y for me. It felt like it was trying to cater to the audience rather than the author writing a book she genuinely wanted to write. I mean— who knows? I may try out another book from this author because I can see the vision but it just felt like this was a book that was supposed to be under the “As Seen on TikTok” category, rather than a “This is just a great friends to lovers, best friends brother book.” If that makes any sense. IM SO SORRY TO THIS AUTHOR
Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney

No words. Prepare to be SICK of me when Intermezzo comes out. Sally Rooney pls give me an arc (i now have to reread normal people just to be back in her mind)
