If you & I went out for lunch, I would tell you how I felt like a different woman after reading each of these books.
Feels like: “I'm 25 and unstoppable" A coming of age story, a woman recounting her youth - as messy and beautiful as it gets
City of Girls
Themes: grit, fashion, suspense, romance Altered my perspective on what I seek in life A woman recounting the many lives she lived over 1930-1940's Spain & Morocco
The Time In Between
Set in: 1950's Jaipur Colors what being “a Girl’s Girl” is really like. The sacrifices of embracing womanhood & why it’s worth it
The Henna Artist
No other book made me quietly sob looking out of an airplane window. A painfully deep love story that makes you want to hold onto a hug for one more second.
The Stationery Shop of Tehran
All the Old Hollywood vibes you could want & a plot twist that pulls you back to real life. Truly giving you a woman's life well lived.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Moody & controversial - exploring naivety and greed. Juxtaposing Old Hollywood and Biblical Times. I needed to know everything about Salome after reading this
The Seventh Veil of Salome
As if I didn't love this city enough - this book made me fall in love with Chicago all over again with all it's 1920's gang galore.
Dollface: A Novel of the Roaring Twenties
I never thought I would soft smile to myself in the middle of the night because I read a cute kissing scene. I felt like I was sitting in between a lit Christmas tree and fireplace the entire time.
Royal Holiday
My fastest read - a dual timeline of girl's girl putting in the work and another selfishly reclaiming her life in the best way.
