What I'm Reading

Oh, the nostalgia! Sarah Dessen was my absolute favorite author in middle school/early high school and reading this made me feel 13 again (in a good way!…and also because being 13 is far rosier in memory than in reality). Also, I think my reading slump may finally be ending. I’m working with a new therapist to climb out of the anxiety pit where I’ve been chillin like a villain 🤍

It’s been 10,000 years since I finished anything!!! This wasn’t nearly as good as Henry’s previous novel, Beach Read, but it did get better as it went. However, the main conflict hinges on one of my least favorite tropes: poor/nonexistent communication between love interests. The kind of thing where two characters are pining after each other for years, finally share a kiss, and then are too terrified to acknowledge said kiss for another few years 🙄 Sure, miscommunication is a common hurdle in relationships, but I don’t need it to be at the center of every romance novel ever written, you know? (Who’s with me? Is there a petition we can sign about this?? Lol.)

I’ve been in anxiety spiral that’s made reading pretty impossible lately 😕 This novel was cute and fluffy enough to keep me distracted, so I’m thankful for that. Also thankful for the ten-minute version of All Too Well that we’ll be graced with in November 🍁❤️ 🍁❤️🍁❤️!!!!!!!!
