pickI‘ve had this on my TBR for a while after reading Dear Committee Members a few years ago. This is satire but still familiar to anyone who has worked in higher ed or who has traveled with a group. I really enjoyed it! The MC is just a grumpy as before but he becomes more endearing as this one goes on. #JumpStartSummer
pickThree Canandian college friends take a trip to New York City. Their adventures are expressive and so much that happens in this book feels urgent like it burns too hot too fast. I love the character and page designs, especially their trip to the museum. The ending felt like falling flat on my face.

so-soInteresting. Not exactly what I expected, but overall a good story.
pickWith just a few days to spare, I finished the last state (Arkansas!) for the #ReadAroundTheUSChallenge! Set at University of AK, this follows a visiting professor/writer, an RA with goals for after graduation & a suite of young women with their own problems of varying intensity. Very different from my own college experience, the characters do come to life, but it sort of makes the reader feel like an eavesdropper along with the characters!
pickI read this one over the summer (so behind on reviews). It was ok, an interesting book about class, money, race, power dynamics. I liked her first book more. Her books definitely try to make you think more about situations that can arise & the bigger dynamics within society.
I really like “Such A Fun Age”. I hope I really like this one too. But the current 67% rating has me nervous.
I‘m also assuming that stories will never take place during 2020 again. Or at least for a long while.
pickRead it for the excellent dialogue. So fun. Highly recommend to anyone who loves eavesdropping.
pickI‘m really surprised by the tepid response to this one, as I really liked it. It‘s quieter than her debut and quite nuanced, with every character showing their flaws and making bad choices in a way that feels fully human. A great read for me that was hard to put down.
