The Guest by Emma Cline
2.0
the feeling of waiting and waiting for something to happen and then it doesn’t. It gets two stars because it’s Emma Cline and the descriptions are so good
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
5.0
I love this book so much and I love Joan Didion, the way she is able to talk about grief is amazing and has helped me getting through my own personal grief and grievances. While writing about grief, you expect a detailed timeline and precise examinations of a person’s inner mind and turmoil. There is all of that, however, there is also a poetic sense throughout the book, along with descriptions sometimes being messy, compounded by vivid memories punctuated with specific details and descriptions. I love that, because that’s what grief feels like. There is no neat, compact way to search for yourself through it, sometimes there’s just a lot of messed up feelings and memories that sometimes don’t even feel real. I highly recommend this book to anyone, whether you’ve experienced grief or not, it is so beautiful.
I love Joan Didion so much 💪💪
