This is an essay collection, not a novel, but her writing style and insights on her contemporary culture still hold up. She really draws the reader into her world

When I first read this book (my first Didion) I thought: Oh, this is what everyone I admire has been reading! She is the OG!! The way she writes about life, about the world we all live in... it's just honest and completely lucid.

By Anna Jackson Reading this book is like sipping on the most perfectly steeped cup of peppermint tea. Very grounding. It honestly changed how I read, and how I think about what I read. I took my time reading the book over a few months, and scribbled a whole journal full of poems in the process. The author is from New Zealand so she references a lot of contemporary kiwi poets!
