April 2022 Wrap Up

i think goon squad is really good i really enjoyed it during my first read-through and i really enjoyed it again after this reread

i felt like the author was so focused on sending those messages through the writing of this book that she actually lost focus on the story itself and it cost her the story in this book as far as i'm concerned i couldn't wait for this book to be over

i didn't think this book was quite as strong as quiet which is one of my favorite nonfiction books but i thought it was full of fascinating stuff

there were times when it made me smile i was interested in that health mystery but most of the time while i was reading this i was just wondering why i was being invited inside of someone else's anxiety spiral

parts of this were absolutely devastating to read i can't lie to you about that but i really appreciated her candor in telling her story

other than that i felt like this book kept me so engaged the story was so well thought through it's just a really well done book

quiet which is one of my favorite nonfiction books

i think if you reread it before reading the candy house you will see what i saw and that's the fact that the candy house is even better than a visit from the goon squad

this is by far the worst meg waltzer novel that i have read thus far it is the first of hers that i have actively disliked which is unfortunate

this book has some seriously gorgeous imagery it's calming but then it's also completely transportive i was so impressed by this book that it inspired me to write what is probably the best review i've ever written at least thus far

this being another nanny book i think you'll enjoy this one if you liked such a fun age by kylie reed
