So far this year, I've read absolutely nothing, so I decided to come up with some goals to hold myself accountable for the rest of the year. Better late than never!

Which Sally Rooney book should I read next?

Normal People follows Marianne and Connell through four years of their young adult lives in Ireland. Both of them couldn’t be more unlike and alike to each other. Marianne comes from a wealthy, cold-hearted family, while Connell is raised by his loving single mother, who cleans Marianne’s house. Their worlds collide, and gradually, the pair fall in love. The pressures of life and the troubles brought on by living in a small town pry them apart. Over the next four years, we’ll see how they’re brought back together over and over again, sometimes at the cost of ongoing relationships with other people.

Here's a little bit of what I thought:

It was easy to connect with the characters. Especially Marianne, whom I was able to relate to throughout the book.

I liked that the misunderstandings were not silly situations that could have been resolved if the characters had just spoken to one another. Instead, they reflected real misunderstandings caused by the intricacies of human life.

While I believe that the author’s decision to omit quotation marks was a bold, unique creative choice, I found it difficult to follow the story at times as the dialogue and thoughts blended. It was almost always clear whether we were seeing the world from the perspective of Marianne or Connell, but when multiple characters were involved, it became difficult to figure out who was speaking.

Normal People is a beautiful story about how two people can profoundly impact each other over a lifetime, and if you enjoy those kinds of books too, then you will enjoy this book.

Along for the Ride is one of my childhood favourit

Along for the Ride is one of my childhood favourite books! Have you read it? 🎤⚽️

The plot revolves around Katelyn Jackson, the football-mad sister of the world-famous pop star Connor Jackson. Connor is embarking on his first tour, resulting in Katelyn being forced to give up her summer of football to follow him around the United States. When Katelyn meets the mysterious lead singer of the band Skyline, Zach, her summer is instantly made brighter.

Here's a little of what I thought:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The characters, along with Rachel’s unique way of writing, are what make this book so special. Along for the Ride is light and fluffy, and the easy-to-follow writing style makes it perfect to read in one sitting or to get you out of any reading slump.

My Year of Rest and Relaxation was one of my favou

My Year of Rest and Relaxation was one of my favourite reads of 2024. Have you read it? 📚

The book follows an unnamed 20-something woman in the year 2000, in New York City, who decides to sleep away a year of her life with the aid of a concoction of sedatives given to her by a psychiatrist.

Here's a little bit of what I thought:

My Year of Rest and Relaxation perfectly conveys that life is painful and was a very accurate depiction of depression. If you love books about 20-something-year-old women with no moral compass or direction in their lives, then this is the perfect book for you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
