I read monstrillio earlier this year and I LOVEEEED it!! i think about it often, the aspect of grief in that book really stuck with me. I also agree with why you didn't enjoy yours truly because same girl, the miscommunication trope was driving me crazy lol i've also been wanting to read talking at night and as someone who also loved normal people (both the book and show!) i'm definitely picking it up soon!!

LOL omg died when your reference to Molly Ringwald was… Secret Life of an American Teenager. Def not my reference ❤️😂👵🏻

I really enjoy your recommendations we have similar taste in books! The only genre I really don’t read is horror but I love literary fiction and literary fiction that has love (in all its forms). 🤍 I was going to watch One Day on Netflix. I didn’t know it was a book though. Would you recommend reading the book first?

ooo i had added ‘talking at night’ to my list of books i’d like to read but had completely forgotten about it until now. i love when a book sucks you in like that & makes you feel all the feels!!! also so damn excited for you next vid bc i wanna know your thoughts on ‘one day’ & if you ended up watching the show!! also everand is truly so good, its the same for me where if i can’t get my hands on it from libby or spotify i can for the most part find it on everand!!
@athenasatheneum Ай бұрын
I was finding every spare couple of minutes I had throughout the day to read the book & it is one of my favorite feelings. It happens to rare these days so I knew it was going to be good & it didn’t disappoint! I am editing the video now that will include One Day so it should be up soon! I am stuck still rewatching episodes of the show in the meantime 😅 Everand is such a lifesaver & worth every penny!

Emily Henry men are top tier, I swear. I think Miles is also my favorite of them, although for me, I think he's the least attainable one out of all of them just because I cannot imagine a man having an EQ that high. The way he just understands people and his overall social skills are so astounding.

Why do I find him more attainable over a gus? (Although I would love to be with someone like Gus). Miles emotional intelligence is one of his best traits
