Review: The Guest List by Lucy Foley (Spoiler-Free)
This book was really easy to read and was well executed, I just wish we were a bit more connected to the characters. Don't get me wrong I'm all for unlikable characters, but in order for the story to be compelling and feel like it has stakes we still have to be able to root for them (take Amy Dunne from Gone Girl or Joe Goldberg from You, for example). Knowing someone ends up dead but not who is a cool concept, but not if you don't care which character it ends up being. I do

Review: Loveless by Alice Oseman (Spoiler-Free)
I didn’t even know what was wrong. Everything. Myself. I didn’t know. How come everyone else could function and I couldn’t? How could everyone live properly yet I had some sort of error in my programming? Reading this was both incredibly easy and painfully difficult. Much like John Green's Turtles All the Way Down, this book explained parts about myself I often don't want to face. For that reason, it's hard for me to talk about online, but I know it's important.
