pickPage-turning! Two people, a newly divorced 40-year-old straight guy (Gibson), and a 30-something lesbian (Shelby), whose wife has died recently and unexpectedly, get drawn in by a charismatic pathological liar and only figure it out after they meet. Femme dyke, anxiety, and grief representation with Shelby are extremely well done. I love Whittall's #queer characters, because they feel so much like the queer people I know IRL. Great #audiobook!
Oof I forgot how real Zoe Whittall's descriptions of anxiety are, so real it is hard to read sometimes as someone with anxiety. You can tell she is so familiar with it.
Anxiety making an appearance these past few days.

pickPicked this based on title alone. It was worth it. The twists are good and the build up to them is well written.
pickI didn‘t enjoy this as much as Let‘s Pretend This Never Happened. Overall, a good read and I appreciated her descriptions and stories of her mental health journey.

pickAh, depressed women in psychiatric hospitals. We‘ve seen this movie. But this book wove in all the writers in this instance so it‘s more of a literary review. Also she was hospitalized in the 90s! Incredible.

Favorite Books: The Girl From the Grand Hotel and La Grieta Del Silencio
Unlike others, I liked this more than the first book, probably because I find YA about type A students kind of tiresome. Also, it's so relatable in its depiction of the highs and lows of beginning college. I really liked how it interrogated what the HEA looks like for a very young couple, with honestly and hopefulness.
