This Is a Love Story | Jessica Soffer

Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Some reviewers can‘t get past the repetition, but I thought Soffer‘s stylistic choices were effective in representing all the seasons of this long, illustrious relationship. Once you get the hang, it flows beautifully. Central Park is quite an evocative center piece. The more I ruminate on this one, the more I appreciate it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sometimes a book just hits you at the right time. May is so insane, this was the perfect #bookclub pick. Funny and thoughtful. A lovable, strong female lead, and two male characters that were likable even in uncomfortable/challenging circumstances. A believable, relatable scenario and a satisfying ending. And, OMG, Nurse Louise!

AileenRR Wasn‘t this good?!? I did want more of an epilogue, though. 13h

Water | John Boyne
post image
Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Boyne is one of the few male authors who can properly write a female character. The depth of his writing in such a short book is just unmatchable. This, the first in his Elements Series, is melancholic, beautiful, compelling. Anxiously awaiting the other three books to arrive. They have not (yet) been published in the US, and slow shipping is killing me.

Suet624 Blackwells had pretty quick shipping. 13h
britt_brooke @Suet624 Good to know - thanks! 13h
CBee @britt_brooke I second Blackwell‘s! I actually got my library to order them, so they are in the US, but not easy to buy for some reason. I‘ve read all but Air, and they are all amazing ♥️ 12h

Millennial ladies, there‘s a lot to unpack here. Atlantic journalist Sophie Gilbert thoroughly explores early-aught pop culture influence, and how we were conditioned to treat ourselves and one another. Fascinating and a bit devastating. A must-read!

Dug fairly deep into my Kindle vault for this one. Not sure why I put it off so long. It‘s a gritty, yet beautiful, collection. Thoughtful is the word. Groff‘s writing is so seamless. She makes short stories seem easy which they certainly are not.

In further bookish goodness, my husband got us all books from a Japanese book shop while traveling for work. Mine is a Murakami that - I think - was never translated to English. I‘m not sure. I‘ve tried to figure it out. 😅🤣 So interesting, though! Holden got the first Wimpy Kid (his fave series) and Vaughn got Bluelock Vol One (one of his fave series). Also added a new member to my beautiful Kokeshi Doll collection!

AlaMich It would be fun to bust out Google Translate on the Wimpy Kid, I bet. 2d

Social horror steeped in reality, racial violence, humanity, and tradition. Hungry Ghosts tell the story of Asian hate in NYC during the pandemic. I‘m honestly so tired of pandemic novels, but this is nothing like the others. Nothing. It‘s brilliant. Creative, compelling, gruesome, and affecting. Can‘t stop thinking about it.

I didn‘t know Haddish had a second book until I saw her on the Read With Jenna Book Festival lineup next weekend in Nashville! (I‘m going!!) Her personal essays are honest, often hilarious, often vulgar. I just reread Last Black Unicorn, too. Her story is a true testament to perseverance and believing in oneself. Must listen to both on audio!

At first, this felt like an unapologetic Didion rip off, then it magically morphed into more of an homage. Incredible writing! Blew me away. I ended up loving this travelogue of memories. Yes, this is Tom Hanks‘s daughter. No, this book isn‘t about him. Also one of my favorite covers of 2025.

Say You'll Remember Me | Abby Jimenez
post image
Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Too many “contemplative gazes” for me, but it was an enjoyable enough story. As usual, Jimenez broaches some difficult, relatable familial circumstances along side a romance. This was more of the former, less of the latter. I was okay with that.

Fahrenheit-182: A Memoir | Mark Hoppus, Dan Ozzi
post image
Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Though I‘m a proud elder millennial, I was, admittedly, only a mild Blink fan. I like, but don‘t love. BUT, music memoirs are so fascinating, and Hoppus seems so open and honest. Blink tea is spilled. And yet, it isn‘t always Mark vs Tom. Times were amazing; time were tumultuous. Loved this. Read Travis‘s book, too. I doubt Tom will ever write one, but he should.

bio_chem06 I can‘t wait to get this! I‘m so ready to read it and be thrown right back to the times when I was telling people I knew the album Cheshire Cat, therefore I‘m way more of a fan than all these other fakers. 3w

McFadden is so inconsistent. I‘ve very much enjoyed a few of her books, but this felt like a (bad) very famous thriller rip off. Just like The Crash reeked of a (bad) Misery rip off. Take a breath, take some time, and write something thoughtful. And for the love, say “brownstone” one more time. Lord. I‘m done with her books for a while.

Less about “sex, death, and secret societies,” and more about this guy‘s personal experience. That‘s worthwhile, but slap “memoir” on the actual cover. This is not the deep dive, journalistic endeavor, sprinkled with personal account, I‘d hoped for.

CSeydel Yeah, I was wary of this one when I heard about it. To be clear I have zero trouble believing that abusers of various stripes would be attracted to the BSA organization or find cover there, and some people have had horrific experiences. But both my husband and my son consider their time with Boy Scouts absolutely life-changing (in a good way) and I hate to see the whole org painted as evil because of one guy‘s tragedy. 1mo
