A place I guess to recommend underrated, little known books. For me I love Pobby and Dingan (aka Opal Dream) by Ben Rice. It’s a short story about imaginary friends and childhood and I want everyone to read it.
What are some books you’ve read that you feel no one else has heard of but is worth the read?

Anyone here who feels like they're missing out a lot when they see people reading the books they badly want to read?
Don't get me wrong, I am really happy, amazed, and proud that you guys can read those books, and you read fast. But I'm also jealous because why do I read too slowly??? I can only read a maximum of 5 books in a month if they are less than 400 pages. So yeah, it's a me problem: "Too many books to read, but too little time to read."😞😞😞

I started reading this book a couple years ago wanting a lighthearted comedic romance and that’s exactly what I got. I paused reading as I fell out of a reading phase and came back to it recently. The writing and the way Elsie thinks it’s endlessly funny and devastatingly relatable. What I never expected was how healing this book would be for me. Because I related to her thought processes and feelings, watching her learn to be herself and find her voice has showed me I’m on the right path to finding mine. The book follows safe romance tropes but that’s exactly what I needed. I have saved sm quotes that are exactly my humour and made me giggle. I’ll share some below. This is my first Ali Hazelwood book which I think is uncommon and can’t wait to read her others. Highly recommend if you enjoy romantic comedies!
“Slanderous. Google is slanderous and we should all switch to Bing.” “He stares like he’s about to deseed me like a pomegranate… so I silently wish him an impassable kidney stone.” “I need a new nervous habit. Nail biting. Fidget spinners. I’ve heard great things about crystal meth.” “My brain is a colander” “I acted like a toddler with little bitch disorder” “Twenty orgasms in a trench coat”

I think while the plot was interesting and the book a quick read, the middle did drag a bit. The ending certainly made the book worth the read in my opinion but after the quick entrance, I had honestly felt bored reading until the last few chapters. I say all this as someone with aphantasia so I was unable to really picture the puppets or feel the suspense that other readers may experience so take my review with a grain of salt. Very quick read, I finished it in just over 3 hours and I am not a fast reader.
