And it goes to show, whatever, whoever, whenever, a women's obsessions and how she goes about them is so much more cunt in all the best ways.
From the beginning I was told this book was absolutely devastating, so of course I told myself I had to read it, but oh my god...
“'Oh, darling. I think he's been trying to say goodbye to you since he met you.'
With that, Josie curled into a ball on the chair, and, finally, she wept.”
Like Josie, same! I also want to curl up into a ball and just sob uncontrollably after this.
This book has cured me in so many ways!!! Seriously I had no idea what I was getting into and thought it would be another Taylor Jenkins Reid book I would find okay but this was a masterpiece to me!!!
I know that after reading this book I'm still incapable of cooking, but I at least had a sexual reawakening hearing Stanley Tucci read aloud pasta recipes.
It's absolutely hard to imagine being a New Yorker who lives their everyday mundane life and could do their daily routine of taking the subway and in no way notice these two. Also, really curious to know if there were many different endings in drafting because while I love the ending I low key expected like twelve different endings than the actual one. The ending also felt a bit forced happily ever after.
I feel like I'm failing as a southern woman by not having invested more time in Dolly Parton's songs until now
How is it two days till Christmas and I haven't watched A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong yet?
Nice book and didn't cause a breakdown like the others but definitely could have been a bit more something. Also read twice in one year, BABY!
Anything an Ephron makes is a beautiful, glorious masterpiece and it still very much stands true with this book. Amy Ephron you have my heart and soul
An Irish woman who as at some point spent her time in the American south is a treasure trove of brutal and beautiful writing
Okay but like the more you read of Jacob and Bella the more gross and slightly incestuous their relationship feels. It's as though one, it's weird Stephenie named Jacob after her brother and two, that their relationship will never be more than a friendship or familial bond(mother and son in laws)
There is something so magical and powerful about an only boy with four sisters. Like something about that dynamic is always just a masterpiece.
I really judged a book by the cover on this one. I was expecting it to be my joker based off the title, cover page, share a name with the author, set in a northeastern town; but I was wrong. I think maybe if I was in a different headspace and could focus on the book more I might like it more, but I really don't know.
I wish I had a cute, quirky review for it but I just got off a ten hour shift and am utterly exhausted but am absolutely in love with this book so the five stars and the adding it to my favorite books list is the best review I can give
