• 📚 how to end a love story, yulin kuang — terrible title, terrible book. it didn't even make sense? like, the characters were so ill-defined that they just do stuff and it doesn't make any sense but is treated like a perfectly reasonable thing for them to do. the whole relationship makes no sense at all from either character's perspective. bad! read may 22 – 24, 2025
• 📚 vacationland, meg mitchell moore — this one was recommended by emily henry at the back of happy place as something to read "for your maine vacation" and hello, i was on a maine vacation and this was available from the library, so obviously i had to read it. this was actually quite nice. not the happiest book but it ended happily, and i quite lik..._fantastic_ and i am in love. read may 18 – 22, 2025
