the 5 best books i've read in 2022 (so far)

it's unlike any other book that i've read before because it's written in creole dialect with this trinidadian main character who is just completely unforgettable and i fell head over heels in love with her

what i loved is the pacing of this book it really feels like there's this orchestral build up to this huge crescendo where rage and anxiety and confusion and resentment all kind of boil up in this one huge moment and it made me ugly cry like i was sitting in this cafe in the middle of paris sobbing

this is just such a precious little book that blew me away

there's a few different books that i have rated five stars books like project hail mary transcendent kingdom elektra

the tone is very dry and witty and sardonic there's a punchline or a joke like every other sentence that really keeps you on your toes it's very smart but it's also a completely heart-wrenching and frustrating and difficult story about a person's battle with mental health

this glorious monumental huge achievement of a novel is set in south africa and considers apartheid by focusing on different members of a white family as well as their black maid who was promised land at one point in a promise that was never fulfilled
