Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s been sometime since a book has made me cry like this one did. Heartbreaking, beware.
Jordan meets two male best friends in college. This starts out with some nice academia vibes. Life moves forward, as it does, and both men have an impact on her life. Loss of love, of friendship, but mostly loss of those important in your life or the threat of it permeates this slim book. I loved it but found it a bit unrealistic at the end, but spoiler.

5 ⭐️- a tumultuous journey, coming of age. All of the feels of joy and intense grief. Excellent narration. It was very palpable for me and I felt acute pain at times but the story was worth that.

Celebrating Caturday on Monday with Kevin, my knitting and a painful, lovely audiobook.

Pumpkin spice latte and my book in the library - shall have a little browse of the newest books later, too.

I‘m on to Florence & Henry‘s part in this book. Loving it! #10beforetheend

2 parisian women 50 yrs apart experience different feelings abt maternity. Anna, in 2019, has had a miscarriage, a psychoanalyst, she finds solace in a neighbour's friendship. Florence, in 1972, wants a child, but her husband does not, + their affairs undermine their love. Touching upon love, loss, sexuality, and feminism the reader is drawn into a deep reflection on the nature + fragility of relationships. It is also a beautiful picture of paris

Thank the goddesses I'd not planned much today.
I picked this up from the library Monday and finished it today. She's so sublimely brilliant at writing from the soul yet no saccharin or twee paragraphs to contend with.
Her use of characters and normal life is wonderful.
Close to tears throughout much of this novel.

Checking off another one from the “self-help” list I found. I actually thought this one had some really great information of how to keep love strong after the honeymoon. Focused to married couples, but I saw he has some others focused on singles, for teens and for giving love to kids. My only complaint is it seemed a bit antiquated with a lot of examples of stay-at-home wives ironing, cooking and cleaning for their hard working husbands.

Loved it! Nostalgic, romantic, melancholy, heartbreaking and somehow cozy all at once. All the feels and such a vibe. Started in print (lovely) but finished on audio on a long drive and the narrator was perfect. This is such a book lovers book. The reading list I made of stories and books and authors mentioned is endless. King writes so beautifully about ‘writers and lovers‘(pun intended.) I‘ll be thinking of Jordan and Yashi for quite some time.
