Reading this book is like watching a A24 horror movie: everything is beautiful arranged and the set pieces are so lovely to look at, the characters so intriguing, you almost forget what genre you're in! Delilah S. Dawson has a mastery over her own prose, with deliciously sensual lines that glorify the simple pleasure of eating a cupcake, that bring scents to life straight off the page, that perfectly encapsulate the heady joy of falling in love for the first time. There's not other way of putting it: this book is luscious, it's debaucherous, it's a real feast to the senses, with an ending that will make you shiver.Reading this book is like watching a A24 horror movie: everything is beautiful arranged and the set pieces are so lovely to look at, the characters so intriguing, you almost forget what genre you're in!

A sugary sweet romantic comedy that imagines a universe in which King Arthur is real, and his descendant is a lovable disaster who super does not want to marry a princess. Which is fine, because the feeling is mutual: Gwendoline HATES Arthur. What follows is an enemies to frenemies to found family story that is ooey gooey and deliciously queer, where a princess gets to kiss a lady night and two princes can fall in love. If you enjoy the humor of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, you'll also love this one!A sugary sweet romantic comedy that imagines a universe in which King Arthur is real, and his descendant is a lovable disaster who super does not want to marry a princess.

This novel is an emotionally intricate examination of what "death of the author" really means from a reader's perspective, but also, there are creepy fae running around. Ava Reid is unlike any fantasy author I have ever read, and I'm ecstatic to report that her latest book is her best yet. Her stories are ridiculously smart, delving into topics like mental health and cultural identity without skipping a beat, but at the same time the world-building never suffers and ohhhh, the romance!! The tension between Effy and Preston is *perfectly* executed. What I'm saying is that Ava Reid is a genius, and this book is everything I could have ever wanted in a gothic.This novel is an emotionally intricate examination of what "death of the author" really means from a reader's perspective, but also, there are creepy fae running around.

The most Sally Rooney-est of books that has ever Sally Rooney-d. If you liked the complicated relationships in Conversations With Friends, and crave more queer storytelling, you will LOVE The Happy Couple. All of the characters are dynamic and messy and awful, in that wonderful literary fiction way where characters are allowed to be awful because they're interesting, and even the dialogue feels gloriously queer. I was fortunate enough to snag an advanced copy of this book way back in Spring 2023, and now we are a few weeks from 2024 and I *still* think about this book weekly. Read this if you like character-driven, thought-provoking literary fiction. This book is excellent, and one of my top favorites of the entire year.The most Sally Rooney-est of books that has ever Sally Rooney-d.

This book totally took me by surprise! I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, but the world-building, characters, and mythology were all so incredibly lush and intriguing, I couldn't help myself! Lazlo is one of the most delightful characters I've discovered within the pages of a book, and one I will happily revisit at a later time. A unique story, and one I highly recommend!This book totally took me by surprise!

This was a gloriously fun romp about a con man without a conscience, and the material greed that fuels his schemes. I wasn't expecting a book written in the 1950's to feel this fresh and entertaining, but I was pleasantly surprised! If you're a fan of villainous main characters and unreliable narrators, I highly recommend you check this one out, especially when you're in the mood for a crime thriller.This was a gloriously fun romp about a con man without a conscience, and the material greed that fuels his schemes.

An uncomfortable, but spot-on, depiction of 1950's & 60's suburbia, and the general malaise of being a human. There were many times whilst reading that I kept playing songs from Mad Men in my head, just for atmosphere. Revolutionary Road & Eleven Kinds of Loneliness are easily five star reads for me, with The Easter Parade coming in third as a bleak, but well-written story about complicated and messy characters. If you're wanting to read one of the best authors of the midcentury (in my humble opinion), Richard Yates is a great bet. His writing style is easy to read, with profound observations of domestic life that will make you stop thinking wistfully of the past.An uncomfortable, but spot-on, depiction of 1950's & 60's suburbia, and the general malaise of being a human.
