i just read ”normal rules don‘t apply” by kate atkinson and i looooved it! so fantastical and chaotic and funny and a good reminder that sometimes things just don’t make sense and that’s okay!
hooked me immediately with it's depiction of toxic teen girl friendship (as a survivor of many toxic teen girl friendships) but The Bee Sting is a family epic - I'm about a quarter of the way in, and it's so gripping to me. Like a slow motion car crash but in a good way? Feels like an accurate but not cliché portrayal of modern life and a really detailed portrait of a family in crisis
