Pretend You’re Dead by Jen Beagin

This is my 2nd book by this author & I enjoyed it! A classic literary fiction will always make me feel cool & this author’s books are just so weirdly interesting. I did like Big Swiss better than this one but it’s still a good read!

The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab

Such a viral booktok book but for good reason! I really didn’t expect to love this one & I remember having tears in my eyes at the end. It’s such a moving magical realism/romance book that has great life lessons

Don’t Cry for Me by Daniel Black

A moving story that discusses issues that are prevalent in today’s society. HIGHLY recommend this one as it taught me emotional lessons that I feel are very useful
