I am mary dunne by brian moore

found it in a free little library in my neighborhood; only picked it up cuz it looked old and i was correct. its fascinating right now, lightly reminds me of Joan Didion

agua viva by clarice lispector

my favourite read in a while. it's a look on her thoughts about everything from life, time, death and lonelines to perfumes. her writing on this one might not be the easiest to understand due to the erratic aspect of it, but i think everyone should read at least one of her books in their life!!!! GO READ CLARICE

the year of magical thinking by joan didion

i've never finished a book so fast in my life. she writes about life and grief in such an intimate way and i could honestly reread it forever. the opening lines are "Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends." which, even on its own, is just wow

ada limon

a recent favourite of mine. i'd also highly recommend going to your local library, picking random poetry books you like the look of (regardless of whether you recognise the author or not), and spending some time reading those. it's a great and inexpensive way to discover new poetry; i wouldn't have known about ada limon otherwise.

that idiot mr big

they're perfect for each other and i mean that in the most derogatory way possible. she treats aiden the way she hated being treated by mr big, i don't know who i feel worse for.
