No Hard Feelings by Genevieve Novak
I just love a Genevieve Novak messy character glow up. Probably because I was one of these characters not all too long ago. Please write more asap, Gen 🫶🏼
Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin
I think I would have liked this more if I hadn’t already consumed so much modern media that this was modeled after. It was a decent and quick scary listen though!
Crushing by Genevieve Novak
This former rock bottom girl will always have space in her heart for the rock bottom heroine of a novel like Crushing <3
Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty
As much as I absolutely despise thinking about the death of any single person or pet that I love I really enjoyed this. It did start to feel a bit long towards the 70% mark but still overall found it to be quite beautiful.
Mystery Lights by Lena Valencia
I don’t know how to categorize this but I really thoroughly loved it. To me it’s a collection of short stories of the horrors women face in the current world. The writing was interesting and thought provoking and the storytelling kept me coming back for more but also wanting to drag it out to savor it, and I did just that.
The Unraveling by Vi Keeland
This was totally fine but I’m a little annoyed about one detail of the story - basically that doctor/patient privilege is honored unless the patient means to harm themself or others and I would assume this would also apply if the patient confesses to a murder.
Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World's Most Notorious Diaries by Rick Emerson
Wowowowowow. Literally just blew my mind and my childhood wide open a little bit. Everyone who read Go Ask Alice or any of the other anonymous diaries OR A Million Little Pieces by James Frey (not mentioned in this book but came to my mind during my listen) absolutely NEEDS to read this. Especially timely when we have currently presidential candidates fabricating harmful stories for political gain!!!
Madwoman by Chelsea Bieker
I don’t know how to describe this one. Very dark subject matter, very well written, felt like work to get through it. Tackles domestic violence in a really unique and oftentimes infuriating way that I think could be really helpful for a lot of people who are stuck in something they don’t know how to escape.
