• Review: Heartburn by Nora Ephron

  

  4.5/5 ☕ | Heartburn is a short but sweet offering from the patron saint of romantic comedies which follows a food writer who, while in her seventh month of her second pregnancy, discovered that her husband is in love with another woman. 40 years into it’s publication and I feel like it still holds up.

• Review: Writers & Lovers by Lily King

  

  4.5/5☕| Lily King’s Writers & Lovers points out that no matter the age, we take time to grow into our own. That despite wherever we are in life at the moment, there will always be something to figure out and to work for.

• Review: Intimacies by Lucy Caldwell

  

  4.5/5☕ | Intimacies was a random find but damn did I stumbled upon a unique gem. It’s been a while since I’ve loved a short story collection this much.

• Review: (Just) Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane

  

  5/5☕ | I love when I read books that forcefully put things into perspective and those that make me want to live my life to the fullest again. Last Night is one such book.
