    Definitely has some meaningful insights on self-sabotage and emotional growth, but it doesn’t always stick the landing. The writing style leans heavily into the poetic and abstract, which might resonate with some, but can feel repetitive or vague to others, especially if you're looking for more practical, actionable advice. It’s a book that’s better for slow, reflective reading than solutions, and while it does offer moments that may click emotionally, it sometimes feels more like a long Instagram caption than a grounded self-help guide.

  • Books/Authors you'll never read

    What are the books that no matter how much people recommend them, or how much hype there is around them, you're still never going to read? For me, it's anything Brandon Sanderson 🫣

    This was lovely and such a cool way to write about the Pandora myth indirectly!

    This was really fun to read, and a very unique take on magic/lands of faerie
