a book called Lovebug by Daisy Lafarge. Razor-sharp writing where she explores metaphors of love against microbiology, mysticism, and psychoanalysis. The whole thing feels really warm but also thought provoking. Like dolly alderton for existential ppl

Weird, quirky, dirty, obsessed are words I'd use to describe Paradise Logic. Reality Kahn is the greatest water slide commercial actress on the Eastern Seaboard; she is on the ultimate quest of becoming the greatest girlfriend ever. After successfully obtaining her boyfriend Ariel, Reality is dazzled by an ad in her favourite magazine âGirlfriend Weeklyâ, to participate in a drug trial prescribing a pill called ZZZZvx Ultra to become the greatest girlfriend ever.Â
Usually, before heading to a bookstore, I have a tightly curated list of books Iâve researched. I hardly ever pick up a book that isn't on my tbr. On this particular day, I walked past this gorgeous pink glossy cover; I was ultimately intrigued. It depicts a true insight to the infatuations girls typically experience in their early twenties; the chaotic highs and lows of the classic notion, âwe accept the love we think we deserveâ but on acid.Â
This book was truly a trip to read, Sophieâs writing bends from Paradise to what I can only describe as a neon-fuzzed fever dream. It is wild and weird, I feel like the girls who get it, get it. After reading this book, I am in wonder of Sophieâs uniquely original voice within her writing. I want moreÂ
5/5
I have also created a Spotify playlist, that I think matches the vibe of the book perfectly.Â

I listened to this one. The actual genius that Catherine Lacey is. This was the second novel of hers that Iâve read, the first being Pew. Both books make me think a ton about how I perceive myself, but Biography of X in particular makes me want to explode or something idk. Self mythology. Theme of the year. Who am I? idk. The end.
