Rating: 5/5 Listening to this book on audio was a joy. There are several narrators reading this book, and I loved all of their voices for the unique characters they read for. Set in 1998 Brooklyn, Quadir and Jarrell have lost their best friend Steph. Seems like a bit of a mystery as to why

Although I read many great books in June, including Commonwealth by Ann Patchett and We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby, Like a Mother by Angela Garbes was hands down my favorite book in June. All of a sudden I’m finding myself hit with the urge for babies. Their tiny little squishy

Rating: 4/5 Sylvia Plath’s personal life freaks me out on an emotional level, but this book was surprisingly pretty good. I didn’t realize it was fiction at first (duh read the back cover, right?), so I guess the characters felt pretty realistic to me. I was surprised at how contemporary this book felt, for the

Rating: 4/5 The Good Stuff: Irby is a fantastic writer for our generation. She’s talking about her struggles so candidly, and her humor is so dark and delectable. She’s open about the situations she’s found herself in. And she’s clear through her humor about her emotions and her struggles to sometimes feel like she’s experiencing

I was excited to read this book, because I loved the Dawn of the Living Dead and I think that George Romero pretty much invented the zombie apocalypse genre. So I was eager to start the book as soon as I got the ARC from NetGalley, but my excitement soon turned into bewilderment, the disappointment.
