did i finish this book or did this book finish me?
my first read of the year ends up being a five star. folks, we’re off to a very good start.
my dive back into fantasy started with Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros — which i had immense fun with — but my god is this book a doozy and a half. it mixes fantasy with mystery with romance and greek mythology (sort of) so greatly. i thoroughly enjoyed reading the interactions between Iris and Roman — whether it be in writing or in person — a very visual, engaging and entertaining story that i absolutely COULD NOT put down. can we talk about the last two chapters + the epilogue? my goodness that hit me like a ton of bricks.
now, i must obviously run to my nearest target and buy the second book because HOW COULD YOU END THE BOOK LIKE THAT, REBECCA ROSS? NOW I MUST FINISH THIS DUOLOGY TO SAVE MY OWN HEART.

“No,” she told me. “Because they are just husbands. I am Evelyn Hugo. And anyway, I think once people know the truth, they will be much more interested in my wife.”

Everything I Know About Love: A Memoir by Dolly Alderton
hopeful

inspiring

medium-paced
4.0
“When you’re looking for love and it seems like you might not ever find it, remember you probably have access to an abundance of it already, just not the romantic kind. This kind of love might not kiss you in the rain or propose marriage. But it will listen to you, inspire and restore you. It will hold you when you cry, celebrate when you’re happy, and sing All Saints with you when you’re drunk. You have so much to gain and learn from this kind of love. You can carry it with you forever. Keep it as close to you as you can.”
WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOU LACK A BEST FRIEND. YOU WILL FEEL INTENSE FOMO.
somebody recommended this to me, said it’s the best book to read if you’re in your early to mid 20s. i had no clue who Dolly Alderton is, and yet her story moved me in unexpected ways. i relate to her, in certain aspects, but also relate a lot to her best friend Farly. the quotes are amazing and it teaches you about love — all kinds, whether it’s romantic, platonic, or familial — teaches you about knowing your worth, and gives advice to those lost in their 20s.
