This book really hit me. It's the only book of teenage romance and especially would-be romance that has hit near what I recall at all.

The last 100 pages of this book wrecked me in the best way. This is by far his best work and it hit extremely close to home. The line when we could still be everything felt especially striking in the midst of my own quarter life crisis.

This is the exact right place to read about a teenager with an anxiety disorder. I really am loving this book so far #readingspot #sundayreads

Airport pick of the night - 106 pages in and it's got me so far!

KateFulfordAuthor @Desertpolarbear If you need another recommendation, may I point you to my People‘s Book Prize nominated debut? Sassy female narrative, laugh out dialogue and a pacy plot. Check the link in the bio for 2 free chapters, reviews and more. 6y

Between the World and Me | Ta-Nehisi Coates

Coates can put words to those concepts so many of us are spluttering to try to express. His recollections and his passion evoke empathy and understanding perhaps more deeply than anything I have read. This is the book I will keep wanting to hand to anyone who doesn't get it.

On this wedding Saturday I can't help but think back to Le Petit Prince... "Tu deviens responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as approvoisé"

This podcast is such a thoroughly delightful frame for a good old fashioned re-read! I'm really enjoying looking at the books from a new angle! 10/10 would recommend

This one is going to stick with me for a while...I didn't know if this would be my kind of book but it's just so beautiful and hits on so many levels. A work of art. I don't remember the last time I've put a book down so in awe of the minutiae holding up the world around me.

razmanda I felt the same. Fantastic read. 8y
