You can’t force a person to show up, but you can learn a lesson when they don’t.
I reached for this one because I was looking for something light, funny, plot-driven and easy to listen to while doing chores. It fit the bill perfectly. Julia Whelan’s narration was a solid performance with distinct voices and a suitable amount of emotion.
If a person lets you down, it’s time to reconsider what you’re asking of them.
From the very first chapter, you learn that the main character’s fiance has left her for his lifelong best friend a month before their wedding date. Scrambling to find an affordable place to live quickly, the MC moves in with the other woman’s now ex-fiance. The four of them were friends with several years of double dating, so they were not total strangers.
This is as close as I get to life on the edge: a milky tea and a near-white rug.
The first half of the book flew by with several lol moments and enjoyable awkwardness as things begin to settle. The MC and her new roommate end up pretending to be a couple to hurt their philandering ex-fiances and naturally this leads to a real romance. Fake lovers to real is one of my two favorite romance tropes, the other being enemies to lovers. This one is written realistically with a slow burn romance.
Every time I dole out a kernel of my history to someone who’s not going to become a fixture in my life, a piece of me gets carried away, somewhere I can never get it back.
The last third of the book was not as much fun. More serious with less laughs, but mostly drama as all the adults start to make difficult life decisions. I appreciated that the author showcased a couple of unhealthy parental relationships, something that is prolific in real life but underrepresented in fiction. In general, the moral of the story is to not accept poor treatment from others. I enjoyed this one and would recommend it to anyone else looking for a summer rom-com type of story.
You, my girl, are whoever you decide to be. But I hope you always keep some piece of that girl who sat by the window, hoping for the best. Life’s short enough without us talking ourselves out of hope and trying to dodge every bad feeling. Sometimes you have to push through the discomfort, instead of running. ------------------------------------------- First Sentence: Some people are natural storytellers.

Trying to make people like you was an impossible code I would never crack.
This was a powerful memoir where the author vulnerably shares experiences from her life, including being autistic, family dysfunction, toxic relationships, bisexuality, and being a sex worker. There was much laughter but also heartbreak, and I walked away with a greater understanding of society and others. That’s a lot of goodness packed into a relatively small book.
It took me years to realize that, no matter how grown-up you think you are, adults can tell when you’re a kid.
In addition to learning more about the author and her life, she gives you a lot to ponder about feminism, mental health, and understanding the behavior and thought process behind some autistic traits. Several times I would be laughing out loud over her cleverness, before being plunged into a serious and dark topic, only to be brought out the other side laughing again. In particular, her sharp insights into misogyny derived from her time working as a stripper were enlightening.
Part of autistic survival is learning to unpick social dynamics. I liked that in a strip club men’s contempt of you was out in the open. In the outside world, misogyny was always hovering in your peripheral vision, meaning you could never quite trust your instincts.
My favorite kind of audiobook to read is a memoir narrated by the author. With Fern Brady’s beautiful Scottish brogue, this was an easy choice to listen to, though I also spent a fair amount of time in the ebook highlighting passages. Another favorite of mine in both fiction and nonfiction is following a character/person with a unique perspective on life. Sometimes this is a time travel element, an immigration experience, culture shock, or as in this case, stepping inside the mind of someone that is neurodivergent.
It felt pointless to get As in language classes at school when there seemed to be this whole other secret language no one was telling you about that relied on instincts I didn’t have.
Fern’s observations of society are refreshing and accurate. I would love to hang out with her and just talk about things - her blunt honesty is invigorating and thought provoking. If you also enjoy memoirs or are interested in any of the themes this contains, it is an easy one to recommend. For those that like audiobooks, having Fern tell you her story in her own voice made it even better.

5 stars = Utterly incredible. One of the best books I've read this year.
History is written by the victors, but it is made by the rebellious.
This book 5 stars = Utterly incredible. One of the best books I've read this year.
History is written by the victors, but it is made by the rebellious.
This book contains the information that your Social Studies and History textbooks intentionally omitted. While they still teach American children lies about Christopher Columbus discovering America, this book tells you about the actual first non-indigenous people that came to America’s shores. Forget the lies you were told about “state’s rights”, this book teaches you the real reason the Civil War was fought, as well as how the Revolutionary War was in large part due to protecting the practice of slavery.
Slavery existed in Africa before white people showed up, but human beings were not commodified or chattel. In pre-colonial Africa, enslaved people had legal rights, their status was not passed down to their children, and they did not serve as a major labor force. In fact, most of the previous iterations of human bondage around the world offered a path to freedom. To be fair, it is much easier to refer to America’s unique institution as “slavery” than it is to call it the “perpetual, race-based, constitutional, human trafficking enterprise that legally reduces human beings to chattel through the means of violence or the threat thereof.”
I could go on all day with examples, but you should just read the book to learn more about how our country was founded to how the GOP’s overt bigotry and fear mongering with imaginary threats continues to be effective today.
And according to Trump, America is the greatest country on earth, despite what the numbers say. We are a beacon of freedom and liberty even though we rank first in the world’s prison population. We are the smartest nation in the world, despite ranking fourteenth in education and second in ignorance. We believe in equality and tolerance, despite ranking number one on the list of the most racist countries in the world.
It is amazing and a great compliment to the author’s writing, that while discussing such vile and incomprehensible parts of history, he somehow makes you laugh. He manages to keep heavy topics light, even as your heart breaks and your temper flares. I found the inclusion of random childhood and family stories along with his digressions about food and music to be welcomed breaks that allowed your mind to consolidate and digest what you just took in.
From its inception, America was always a pyramid scheme where the wealthy benefited from the labor of the poor.
Perhaps because my spouse and I are in the process of emigrating out of the USA, or perhaps because like a privileged fool I did not pay attention to politics until several years ago when I was shocked to see the brazen bigotry and corruption that had always been there, this book really hit home. I highly recommend it to all Americans as well as everyone else.
Whiteness is not a social construct, nor is it as eternal or as confident as it seems. Whiteness is fleeting. It is a ghost; a shadow of an imaginary thing. It is the result of an insecurity that not only justifies man’s inhumanity to man, it reinforces the subconscious doubt in one’s own inferiority. Superiority does not require subjugation. A superior human being has no need.
You cannot fight oppression and discrimination, if you do not stay informed and vigilantly pay attention. In America, we must educate ourselves on our factual history, because you are not taught it in school nor any other inconvenient truths. Give me the painful truth every time, as I have no use for comfortable lies.
Like its history, this nation is a mirage. Its greatness is a figment of a collective white imagination that envisions a bright, shining star where there is only a dumpster fire. America is a con artist. It is a counterfeit farce of a white country convinced of its own supremacy. It is a boot on every Black throat and noose on every negro neck. ------------------------------------------- First Sentence: I remember when I discovered America.
Favorite Quote: The lesson of Reconstruction is us. That we exist and breathe and love and sing and laugh and are still here is not a miracle or a revelation. It is a simple, unignorable fact that we cannot be extinguished. All the evil that the world has ever had to offer has been lobbed in our direction. They enslaved. They brainwashed. They lynched us separately and massacred us by the hundreds. They enslaved us by the boatload and sold our families in pieces. They mined our muscles and our minds for their profit and built an empire from it. And when we did the same without their help, they set it on fire. This is America - a floor slick with blood. But that is not who we are. ...more

“Their pain can only really be felt in the pauses, which aren’t included in the transcript.”
This was a really quirky, darkly humorous read that I always looked forward to picking up. The MC is a transcriber for a sex therapist that becomes obsessed with one of his clients, her infatuation growing with each secret heard.
“Why? Because she was a ridiculous person with too much time on her hands, and morally bankrupt.”
Eventually the MC and client meet by chance in real life, many lies are told as an explosive relationship is formed between the two bisexual women which inevitably blows up in the MC’s face. The tone and pacing reminded me vaguely of “Yellowface,” but of course with a completely different subject matter.
“She’d always been less of a shit-talker and more of a shit-thinker.”
There’s a lot going on between the romance, the psychotherapy revelations and a couple of thriller/suspense subplots. It has graphic sexual content, but not in a spicy way so much as a cerebral way. The raunchy descriptions make you think more than they turn you on, which makes for a unique reading experience. It was witty, original and beautifully bizarre. I’d recommend it to anyone that is intrigued by a sensually weird book that covers heavy topics in a comically irreverent style.
“You fear engulfment. She fears abandonment. It’s not love/hate so much as push/pull, and it’s very hard to stop once the cycle starts.” ------------------------------------------- First Sentence: Greta called her Big Swiss because she was tall and from Switzerland, and often dressed from top to toe in white, the color of surrender.

There is an America that some people never see. It’s not just the ignorance, it’s the hardness. Some people grow up hard, and all that hardness makes them mean. They’re people who, if they see you slip on ice, what’s the first thing they’re going to do? They’re going to laugh. They may eventually help you, or they may not - but first they’re going to laugh.
I absolutely loved this book and want to be friends with the author. Do not let the pink chick-lit cover fool you, I think this is a book that would appeal to all rational people that appreciate a satirical examination of the modern dating world and America’s current division and traitor problem. I laughed and laughed, because what else can we do and not go crazy?
I will never be able to truly know another person. The most intimate relationship of my life would be my relationship with me - which was wildly unappealing. This is why people believe in gods, so we can have intimate relationships with them instead of ourselves.
It is character driven instead of plot, and the group of main characters are well fleshed out and show growth throughout the novel that spans a couple of years. It is sprinkled with interesting reflections on humanity and our current state of affairs, while keeping a tone of cynical hilarity as the heroine tries to figure out life and how to survive. Highly recommended to everyone, though sadly the people that would benefit the most will refuse to read it, as is usually the case with them. I will miss reading about these characters and look forward to checking out what the author does next.

Strange, the powers you find sometimes, in a garden at the end of the road.
For years I have heard great things about T. Kingfisher, but this was the first book I have read by her. I get it now. This fast moving novel had an interesting plot filled with eccentric and memorable characters. The abundance of snarky humor was also much appreciated and enjoyed.
I asked my phone if it was connected to the internet and it told me that it had a very close relationship with the internet. I attempted to pull up a web page and it informed me that it was not that kind of relationship.
I am a certified horror weenie, but every year around this time I start craving a creepy or spooky read…but not scary, never scary. This scratched the itch perfectly and it is awesome that I still have multiple works by her to reach for the next time the mood strikes. It’s hard to be scared when you’re laughing.

I was right to trust nobody. They all let me down in the end.
It is usually difficult for me to select my next book to read, perhaps because I am a digital book hoarder which can lead to analysis paralysis. I tend to be a mood reader, but even with an idea of what genre I am looking for, in this instance a mystery or thriller, there are still so many choices that it’s difficult to settle on one.
Recently, I started narrowing it down to around 5 books that fit the mood I am looking for, and then I read the first page of each. Typically one of them will be difficult to put down, as was the case with this one. How do you read these first two paragraphs and not want to continue??
‘Put me out with the bins,’ he said, regularly. ‘When I die, put me out with the bins. I’ll be dead, so I won’t know any different. You’ll be crying your eyes out,’ and he would laugh and I’d laugh too because we both knew that I wouldn’t be crying my eyes out. I never cry.
When the time came, on Wednesday 29th November 2017, I followed his instructions. He was small and frail and eighty-two years old by then, so it was easy to get him into one large garden waste bag.
So with my selection made, I settled in and thought this one is going to be funny in a dark and dry sense of humor kind of way. And it is quite funny at times, but it also gets extremely dark rather quickly, and in my case unexpectedly, and then proceeds to run you through the whole gamut of emotions.
It is a compelling, steady paced, grim psychological drama. It’s twisted, fascinating, and disturbing all at the same time. Much like a train wreck, it was hard to look away and hard to put it down. The writing itself was disappointingly light on quotable prose, but when the words are all put together, a captivating story emerges.
No animals were harmed and no one seemed to have an eating disorder, but it is safe to consider all other content warnings applicable. This book is an excellent reminder that some seemingly normal, polite people are actually monsters. Those that have been hurt, will often go on to hurt others.
I love books written from the perspective of someone that is neurodivergent, foreign, from a different time, or in general just has a different take on life. The heroine here is “socially deficient”, and some reviewers find her to be unlikeable. I disagree with that sentiment, but can understand how she is a polarizing figure. I really empathized with Sally and wanted to see her thrive.
‘It’s not good to be racist, Caroline,’ I said. ‘You don’t understand a lot of things, Sally, and this is one of them.’ ‘I understand racism.’ ‘Stop calling me a racist.’ ‘Stop being one.’
The themes incorporated are diverse and varied, including the effects of isolation, the requirement of love for humans to flourish, nature vs nurture, control and manipulation. If you are looking for your next psychological thriller to read and do not mind darkness in your stories, this is one I can easily recommend. ------------------------------------------- First Sentence: ‘Put me out with the bins,’ he said, regularly.

Probably shouldn’t have dropped an f-bomb at book club, but there it was.
This was such a sweet and funny book to read that features a slow burn romance and a heroine in her 40’s that is a gamer and borderline hermit-level of introvert. This is a delightful combination that I had never enjoyed the pleasure of reading about before. Is it too much to hope for a literary trend of mid-life characters to take off?
Now that he was gone, it was like it had all welled to the surface, like a suit of armor made of razor blades. Dating? She was ready, maybe even eager, to cut someone.
Thank you to Sara and her lovely review, which brought this novel and author to my attention. I deeply appreciated the positive messages it portrays, from setting boundaries with toxic family members to fully embracing your sexuality, and the importance of loving and accepting yourself for who you are. It was a very satisfying summer read with the right balance of heavier topics included, without ever coming across as preachy. Well done, Bogwitch, well done.

Women are both afflicted and empowered by something I call Girl Logic.

I only recently discovered Iliza, but she’s incredible. If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend her Netflix special, Elder Millenial.
I couldn’t relate to a lot of the dating stories (I’ve been with my husband for over half of my life and can’t even comprehend what dating today would be like), but the majority of the book was insightful as well as being humorous, especially the back half. I really enjoyed the pictures she included at the end as well. The point is, this book deserves far more recognition than it has received.
What I love most about her style of humor is that beneath the laughs, there are sharp, perspective observances and explanations. She’s not just funny and beautiful, she’s also intelligent. Smart people are awesome, funny people are awesome, but when you get both in one package, it’s a beautiful thing. ------------------------------------------- Favorite Quote: You teach people how to treat you.

Such memorable characters and highlightable prose. The main character is a patriarch that is dying, reflecting on his life and trying to wrap up loose ends before it happens. He broke my heart with his reference to rhinos as it was clear in his frail state that he coveted their impenetrability. Mija - a rhino has such thick skin, mosquitoes and flies can’t bite him.

This was exactly what I needed to cleanse my palate after Infinite Home. I had not read any of Raybourn’s books since I completed her Lady Julia Grey series but was rather excited when this series came out as it returns to Victorian England. Her writing is just as fun, witty and fast paced as I remember, and this heroine was also brave, independent and snarky. I always look forward to her opening sentences as she typically grabs me from the very start. After all of these compliments, perhaps I should give her more “romancy” novels a go.
While Miss Speedwell was inconceivably unrealistic for her time, it didn’t bother me. I think it has something to do with modern women hoping that if we were to find ourselves suddenly back in time 150 years ago, that we would magically manage to retain our intelligence, logic, and sensibilities. And that thought makes the heroine seem not quite so out of place. ------------------------------------------- Favorite Quote: The truth is a hard mirror, and I am in no mood to look upon my reflection.
