🐇 This book reminded me of the incredible ways writers play with and manipulate words. There were times I was brought to a stop by the way a sentence or two had unfolded. Mesmerizing, deliberate character development too. Highly rec!
others I read last week:
- the seep by chana porter
- two books from the throne of glass series by sarah j. maas
- jazz by toni morrison

it was excellent - vivid, elegant, supple. it felt real, and one of those stories that I will carry with me for a long time.

😃you’ve got a good list! i really like bunny. jen beagin’s novels are so good and all fit this description! and i might add sweetbitter by stephanie danler? the ones you mention have visceral settings and this novel is about a girl working in an intense restaurant in nyc. oh and milk fed by melissa broder also has a sort of heady intense almost surreal feel like bunny!

🧑being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

🛠very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
