One of the most raw/real/true fiction books I’ve read in a long time. Miranda July has said it before herself - “it’s very close to the bone.” If you are curious about polyamory and open relationships, this could be a good read for you. But also, this book makes me excited about aging and coming into myself.

The real lore behind this book is compelling. I had fun in the rabbit hole.

Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors

Sophomore slump and feels very phoned-in. Couldn’t relate to any of these people. There were a few redeeming scenes, not much else. A little cringe. Such a stark difference from Cleopatra and Frankenstein which is one of my favorite reads of the year.
