Good Dress by Brittany Rogers
4.0
Easy to digest poems, love the homage to women who have come before, embrace of sexuality, clear love for Detroit.
The Grief Cure: Looking for the End of Loss by Cody Delistraty
3.75
Looking at grief and the various ways to cope with it, acknowledging it doesn’t just “go away.” Various therapies like ai chatbots, laughing therapy, and getting physical to process grief (like Cheryl Strayed’s Wild). Nothing ground breaking but very relatable
The Cliffs by J. Courtney Sullivan
5.0
Nostalgia.
The impact of the past on the present.
Paying homage to the land.
I loved this novel, as evidenced by me carrying it everywhere and reading it during lunch breaks, rainstorms, and on Sunday mornings at the local coffee shop. I appreciated the questions of who gets to “own” land, the atrocities committed upon indigenous people, and the (hopeful) later acknowledgment of the theft and returning artifacts and ancestors back to where they belong.
This book was much more than I expected but so well done: multiple timelines, a slow reveal of how the pieces fit together, and a house and a cliff at the center of it all.
