autobiographical book on how she dealt with heartbreak (esp after a codependent relationship). Incredibly well done, very human and accepting of mistakes whilst keeping an overall optimistic tone.

my favorite book of all time. it should be required reading for everyone. i hate self-help books but this is a memoir, which made it feel much more real and moving to me. it's filled with shared human experiences so i think we can all take something from it in some way.

When I first started reading this I was in shock because I didnβt know people were allowed to write books like this β so incredibly honest in an almost jarring way. Iβm already re-reading it.
The book is only around 65 pages and is a reflection on a passionate affair Annie had with a married man. She was so obsessed with him in, at times, a very relatable way. It feels so intimate, like youβre reading a personal diary.

As y'all might know, I'm a climber. Which is fun, cute, sexy and I recommend everyone to become one. Only downside is that it's def a male dominated sport. There's plenty of girls who climb, but a large majority (in our gym) is male. Meaning that the likelihood of going on an outdoor climbing trip without men.. is small. Unless, of course, you organise a girls-only climbing trip. I would highly recommend doing so. Men r great but it's also nice to only be surrounded by girls who know what's it like to climb when you have a menstrual cycle and don't have a natural knack for dynamic power. Made me feel supported, seen and connected.

Feels like the adult alternative to sleepovers as a kid. Telling eachother your deepest secrets and scariest truths while laying in the dark. Seeing the hours on your clock pass steadily, knowing it'll be a bitch to wake up in the morning but thinking that it's worth it.
