Normal People by Sally Rooney
I wanted to hate this book on account of its incredible hype but it’s actually good. A lovely story about a relationship full of miscommunication. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Am I really enjoying a whole book about a fake band, complete with fake song lyrics, and fake controversies? Yes, I guess I am. Cool. #25wordbookreviews (link)

The River by Peter Heller
Peter Heller combines nature + art so beautifully that even with the violence and impending death, I find myself fantasizing about a trip like this. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Eat, Drink, Run by Bryony Gordon
The idea of a fat woman running a marathon while still drinking and smoking lured me in but I stayed for the hilarious, lovely voice. #25wordbookreviews (link)

A Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne
Took me forever to get what this book was doing, and I almost quit several times, but in the end this was a *great* read. #25wordbookreviews (link)

My Thoughts Exactly by Lily Allen
This is one of those memoirs where the author is interesting but hasn’t evolved in any meaningful way so it feels … empty. Lovely reading voice. #25wordbookreview (link)

She Wants It by Jill Soloway
Fascinating and well-written Hollywood memoir that occasionally veers into overly academic topics and prose. Especially great if you’re a fan of Transparent. Fantastic on audio. #25wordbookreview (link)

How to Be Alone by Lane Moore
There are some really beautiful (and funny) pieces in this memoir but almost as many come off as tragically lacking in self-awareness. Loved the audio. #25wordbookreviews (link)

Bad Blood by John Carreyrou
Holy Shit, this is good. It’s a nonfiction account of the craziness that was Theranos but swear to God it reads like a fantastic thriller. #25wordreview (link)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Stephen Frey on audio is a dream but I’m done with HP. This is a series that’s great for kids, but it’s not for me. #25wordbookreview (link)
