"President Hillary Clinton (its only March as I write this, so I'm just guessing)..." BRB, crying on my book. ?

Let's talk about how much I love the bookmark/jacket coordination. 😍

The struggle is real.

"I only feel great when I'm lying on the sofa..." Feel this so hard ?

Pain, Parties, Work is full of thoughts, on New York, on Plath, on feminism, on love and friendship...

Pick with a caveat--this is a beach read (see the sand? Coming to you live from Bermuda). Don't expect more from it than that. But that being said, it's a clever and fun roman a clef/faux memoir about a former teen series actress who falls in love with a big movie star and then discovers the extent of his cult-like practice...sound familiar? 😂

This book is dark and brilliant, and I LOVED it. Could not rip myself away from the pages.

"To have power, be seen, be heard...to be in control, to seize control, simply because we happened to have a dick."

This book is genius.

Jen Doll gets me. "I worried that it would be stupid for me to give up that something, even if the signs pointed to me not wanting it at all, not that, not with him."

Heading to my little brother's wedding. Obvious airplane choice!

Is the tissue box too on the nose? The whale keeps it whimsical. Seriously, this book was a lot to take in. While I admired her honesty, sometimes it was too much. But I also had moments of real thoughtfulness and connection, which made it worthwhile. I won't reread, but I'm glad I read.

On marrying later... "It's not such a bad thing to always have something to do...those who marry later, after a life lived single, may experience it as the relief of slipping between cool sheets after having been out all night."
