First of all, loving the slicked back braid ponytail, I'm a big fan. I read The Foxglove King last year and also really enjoyed it, totally agree the love triangle in this book was an interesting take on the trope, as someone who is skeptical/pickier about love triangles in books, I really liked it. I've heard great things about Evil Eye, I hope to get to it at some point this year esp now hearing it's a good read for character driven readers. With all the excitement of Bridgerton S3, I've been in the mood for Regency romance lately, which is usually not my thing in terms of books. I tend to prefer the genre in film/tv, but I've really been enjoying making my way through Diana Quincy's books (also a Palestinian author btw) and in April I read The Duke Gets Desperate and I loved it so much, might be my favorite I've read by her so far.

I love the middle part, slicked back hairstyle - if you haven't already used it, I definitely recommend getting a wax stick to make sure the bangs and flyaways stay into place. I think Funny Story might just be my favorite Emily Henry book, it was just SOOO enjoyable and I still think about it daily.

Thank you!! I def think I’ll be on the lookout for a wax stick since this hairstyle ended up being easier than I thought 😊 I’m so glad you ended up loving Funny Story!! It was such a great book and it’s def stuck with me as well.

I started The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten and then got distracted, but hearing your thoughts on it has made me eager to pick it back up!

Recently I listened to the book The Final Revival of Opal and Nev by Dawnie Walton. It is an interview style book with a band from the 70s, so that part is similar to Daisy Jones and the Six. However Opal is a black woman and Nev is a white British guy. So I appreciated the extra layer in the story. Opal is complicated. She makes bad decisions and sometimes doesn’t want to take responsibility for them, but also she was in some no win situations and trying to stay true to herself. I loved it so much that I ran out a bought a physical copy of the book after I finished listening to it. I also recently read The Bullet Swallower by Elizabeth Gonzalez James. It blamed me feel like I was back in my Latin American literature classes reading those stories that seem so epic and tragic, but still survivable. We mostly follow this guy who is a big deal in his little border town, but he goes for one big score out of town and it doesn’t work out. So now he has to wander around to make it right again. I don’t know if either of those sound good to you, but they were a couple books that I enjoyed and don’t hear talked about enough. So I like to talk about them. I hope you are finding some great May reads!

My favorite part from Funny Story “I threw almonds at them and they drove away” 😂 and omg I was a nervous wreck around chapter 30 i could relate to Daphne feelings since I experienced those feelings before that I literally couldn’t go to sleep until I found out all was well 😂

Haha yes I loved that part!! This more than her other books I could really see as a movie, which I loved. I feel like all of her books are cinematic but this one especially.
