my 23 favorite books of 2023 🤗

This one was so interesting. It's one of those really emotional heavy hitters. Like this could definitely make you cry. I just thought it was really great.

I really enjoyed it. My only gripe is like it was the second book syndrome of like the characters are apart all the time and I just wanted my characters together.

I did not love it as much as some of her other books, I think I gave this one a four stars. I had a good time in general because I really do care about some of these characters, but my overarching thought is I like the side characters more than the main characters.

I just got a lot more out of it this time. I just enjoy reading about such flawed people and like how did these things happen and why do we still care about them despite all the terrible things they did?

This one is a reality TV baking competition with lesbians. I had to pick it up. It's just adorable.
