Auto-fiction in the au courant/Rachel Cusk bent about a female writer in her 50s. Beautifully written and just brimming with wit. I don’t have her gifts so I can’t begin to do it justice, but just read it. Didn’t actually realize this was the third in a trilogy (a repeat mistake for this guy). Felt even more atmospheric not having the context of the first two.

It's about a young woman coming into adulthood with her whole childhood behind her and the cruel modern world ahead of her. Family drama, roommate drama, a mysterious lover, middle class angst, strange and surreal scenes(like her house literally slowly sinking into the earth), and amazing prose. Honorable mention to Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda, which is about a vampire who is trying to break into the art world.

fun sweet emotional poetry book about an angel who comes down to earth and has a relationship with a man from the suburbs. the whole book is basically back and forth conversation, it's a super quick read, and it's so so good

I probably have to pop that cherry today for work and I’m deeply sad since I’ve gotten this far with never once using it, which is the way things should be.
