✨The Starless Sea✨ by Erin Morgenstern
Underground Libraries and magical doors weave a setting of the magically subterranean. This book tells a story through many different stories.

I loved the shit out of the Starless Sea. I loved the characters, the setting, and the intertwined plot lines. I think this book succeeded because reading it felt like diving deep into a rabbit hole, and resurfacing afterwards felt like it was all a dream.

“At this point it occurred to me that I didn‘t like this man. More than that: I felt a sudden surge of hatred toward him, as sharp as a knife.”

“Comedians writing autobiographies” is not a new concept anymore. Jenny Slate succeeds in that she makes her writing new and different. Starting with ghost stories and ending with what ifs, she creates a book that dives into her dreams and insecurities. While society might deem her “quirky” or “manic-pixie-whatever”, you as the reader get a sense of her as a fully realized person and woman. I really enjoyed Slate‘s ~little~ ~weirds~!!!

This book is full of night terrors and day dreams. I‘m about halfway through, and the title suits the story. She expresses a kind of yearning loneliness that we all feel, but I haven‘t seen written about that often. Hopefully the second half maintains its awesomeness 😁
