You will either love this or hate this. If you're familiar with Sally Rooney, you already know her characters aren't the most likeable. But this book is so incredibly good. (PS, if you get bothered by a lack on punctuation, don't read this 😅)
Normal People by Sally Rooney, Paperback | Barnes & Noble®

An incredibly novel about about misogyny and the female experience. Every woman will find something that resonates with her while reading this book (unfortunately)

If you’ve read ‘Circe’ and/or ‘The Song of Achilles’, try this Greek mythology retelling! It's a retelling of the Trojan War from the women's perspective

A classic dystopian series! I was so skeptical before starting this because I've never read dystopian novels and dislike series. This series completely changed my perspective!

I thought this was going to be a gilmore girls-inspired lovey-dovey romance book, but it wasn't. It was much better. Read if you enjoy bookshop/cozy settings and a book filled with secrets

Discusses narratives of race and privelage in an everyday setting, white savior complex, and the ‘wokeness’ movement. Bonus points for its beautiful portrayal of female friendships

If you wanted a sign to start this novel, or any other EmHen book, this is it. ‘Happy Place’ is definitely my second-favorite EmHen novel (after Funny Story). Perfect if you're a sucker for summer romance/summer-getaway romance and believe in soulmat...
