I think we have similar reading faves as I love Elena Ferrante and Jhumpa Lahiri, so have reserved both of those, plus The Bee Sting :) My library doesn't have Sandwich yet, booo!
Oh Angie you must. Both the size and the yellow cover were a sore point for me, but I absolutely flew through it. Murray also does the most incredible job writing an unbelievably realistic portrayal of teenage girls. I don't think I could come anywhere close to his accuracy - and I've been one!
The Lost Daughter is my fave Ferrante by far - such an unsettling book. And please do read The Bee Sting - such an incredible book. Adding Same As It Ever Was to my TBR list - have been eyeing up its gorgeous cover for a while now!
I lovvvve this so much, Lucy! Thank you! Excellent company, too. I’m so honored. Xoxo
The pleasure is all mine!
I'm desperate to read Sandwich!! Been seeing good things about it all over.
You must when you get the chance, it's absolutely glorious.

Good on you for supporting your library. And fingers crossed they'll have Sandwich in soon for your reading pleasure!
The biggest YES to Sandwich 🥪 and The Bee Sting 🐝 Adding all the rest to my TBR 📚
I think you'll LOVE The Lost Daughter - try that one next. The film adaptation is also excellent.
Done ✅
Hurrah!
The length of Thee Bee Sting has put me off a little but you are very persuasive......maybe I should give it a go!

Sounds amazing especially the portrayal of teenage girls. Not easy for a male author to achieve
I know - no mean feat at all. Do let me know how you get on with it if you give it a go!
Jhumpa Lahiri is 🔥
She really is, isn't she? D'you have a favourite of hers?
The Lowland. Although it’s hard to pick a favourite.
I need to re-read this one. I read it yonks ago but feel it's time to visit it again!
Definitely sold on The Bee Sting now. I felt the same exact way about Ferrante! Could not put it down.
I’ve had a ton of favorites so far but I just finished Claire Lombardo’s Same As It Ever Was and that is on the top of my list now!
The Lost Daughter is my fave Ferrante by far - such an unsettling book. And please do read The Bee Sting - such an incredible book. Adding Same As It Ever Was to my TBR list - have been eyeing up its gorgeous cover for a while now!
The cover is to-die. As is the whole book! I hope you read it soon!
