Pages for You: A Novel | 
pickNot as beautiful as call me by my name or find me but still a heart breaking poetic tale of first love all the highs all the lows and the crushing heart breaks we all endure in our teens . A great read written in small snap shot lyrical chapters
Reposting my review from a couple of months back...#20Series20Days #Top20Series Day12
You‘ll find it under the 2nd book Pages for Her.

I started a new job last week! Which is exciting, but also means my reading time (and Litsy time!) has been drastically reduced 😪 going to try and get through some of this stack today while I have the time...
I‘m itching to get to the story of Flannery and Anne, two women who fall in love at University. (Aha! Just realized I can read this for #popsugar2019 #setonacollegeoruniversitycampus 👌🏻)

pickThe lackluster reviews for this one have me surprised. It is the elegant, raw tale of a first love. Flannery is a college freshman when she falls in love with chic, sophisticated Anne. Their passionate affair lasts until the spring, when Flannery is then faced with her first heartbreak.
I loved the stunning prose that were also very relatable. #booked2018 #LGBQTMC
Reading is how I get myself in a #deepsleep every night. But lately my books have been keeping me up until close to midnight every night and I have to admit, waking up in the morning isn‘t easy!!
Last night I finished a book around 10pm but instead of going to sleep like I should have, I reached over to my bedside table and grabbed a new one. 😅 #septemberdanes
so-soI flew through the first half of this story of Flannery's coming of age story. But then crawled through the second half. I enjoyed the writing...but I fear I was just not in the right mind set for the book. I am on the fence about reading the companion novel Pages for Her. Thoughts?
These covers make me feel like I'm #livininthe70s ☮️

pickFlannery, a university student, falls in love with Anne, 10 yrs her senior. This starts beautifully & the language is poetic & sensual throughout. Flannery & Anne are interesting, each strong in their own way, & the dynamics of a relationship wonderfully observed. But I didn‘t share Flannery‘s absorption in her new love. She was like a precocious uni student; it didn‘t quite hold my interest. Saved by the lyrical writing.
It‘s been a long day. Enjoying a sip of wine and the last 80 pages of this book. I loved the start but it waned a bit once they got together - no dramatic tension, lots of knowing book references, which I can‘t bear (even in a university novel). But also some beautiful writing so I‘m hanging in there!
so-soI never felt fully immersed or deeply moved by this book, and I think I can pinpoint exactly why: the third-person narration kept me at a distance the whole time. How I wish I could have been deeper inside 17-year-old Flannery's head as she experienced first love with the poised and sophisticated Anne. I wanted to be wrecked by this but it just didn't happen.
pickStill reeling from my experience with Call Me By Your Name, I was desperate to find another novel about first love. I absolutely fell into another state of ecstasy over Pages for You; it is wildly captivating + that all-consuming, intoxicating, sensual, and ultimately, fragile, bubble you create with another person was perfectly expressed. The writing is a gift (some find it pretentious) and I can barely wait for the sequel to arrive in the mail.
pickAbsolutely loved this book. Slightly bereft it's over, what a reading experience. Feel like I lived Flannery and Anne's love affair with them, the highs and the lows. I didn't want it or the book to ever end.
