I read a LOT of fiction, so I’m feeling guilty about all the (many) other books I loved that don’t get a mention here! ✨Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid✨ As both a fan of tennis and Taylor Jenkins Reid, this book was right up my alley. An entertaining read, with a rather arrogant protagonist, set in a world where the behind the scenes are not oft depicted (I recommend the doc series Break Point for those interested!). It was game, set and match for me! Yeah, I said it!🤪🎾 ✨When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole✨ This book has been described as Rear Window meets Get Out, which is spot on. Insidious gentrification in a Brooklyn neighborhood takes an even darker, sinister twist. I loved the slow burn of this thriller, my heart was often in my throat with anticipation. Loved it. ✨Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld✨ I loved this book so much. It does exactly what the title promises and I was just swept away with the couple at the center of the story. As a longtime fan of SNL and modern romance novels this was right up my street. ✨Martin McLean Middle School Queen by Alyssa Zaczek✨ My 10 year old and I fell in love with insecure, questioning, sweet Martin McLean. I’m so happy to be living in a time where a book like this exists for young readers. Why not be a mathlete and a drag queen?! The message at the heart of this book is a beautiful one, live your truth, find your tribe, (and despite so much evidence to the contrary) the world is filled with weird wonderful people. ✨The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray✨ I knew nothing of Belle da Costa Greene, who in the early 1900s became one of the most powerful women in New York, whilst keeping a massive secret about her identity: she was a black woman passing as white. I read the whole thing with bated breath, nervous that her secret would be revealed and what the implied consequences would mean for Belle and her family. Whilst also feeling furious that she had to keep such a secret, as so many felt they had no choice but to do at that time.」11月27日 2時26分
