I wanted to read this before the movie came out and ended up so obsessed with it that Rach got super mad at me bc I was reading it sneakily in the bathroom when I was meant to be getting ready to go out. Gonna be reading the sequels soon!

Obviously “Story of Your Life”, the longest story in here and the basis for the movie “Arrival”, is amazing, but I found a lot of the others just weren’t engaging enough and couldn’t get into them properly.

LOVED this. Totally 100% understand why everyone likes this so much. It was weird to read something set in Trinity where the characters do all the things I did for so long but I really really loved it & now can’t wait to read her other book.

This took a lot of getting into. It’s phenomenally well written, and the kind of book that feels like a jigsaw puzzle, but for some reason I just wasn’t motivated to figure it out. I will probably read the sequel, but I’m not running to get it.

Instant favourite. This book is a masterpiece. It’s so beautiful and sad and the structure is fascinating and I want to read essays analysing it. Spectacular.

These are so good tbh. Who let someone write such fucked up stories for kids? This one has a suicide attempt in it. In first person perspective, in a kids’ book.

This is astonishingly well written and 100% deserves the hype around it. Really gets inside how grooming and pedophilia actually work, so it’s obviously horrifying but also spectacular & feels necessary.

“Why aren’t you reading all the animorphs in a row, Karen?”
Because there are fifty-four of them. Progress is happening. I like this one because Ax finally shows up in it.

Devastated that I didn’t like this more because the first book by this author is an all time favourite, but it just felt so meandering. I kept feeling there was a deep point the author was trying to make but just couldn’t get there

This is amazing. It absolutely sucked me in and I read it in two days. It’s a story about three women growing up in London and how their lives turn out differently than they wanted and it feels so real. Highly recommend this one
