A few chapters in and it's a solid, easy read. The romance is a little too frictionless atm, but I can tell some outside drama is about to shake things up
Helena, or the sea in summer by Juliàn Ayesta is a beautiful short and romantic book thats perfect for summer! Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan and L'étranger by Albert Camus both explore darker topics but are in my opinion also easy reads, fit for summertime (maybe just because they both have lots of scenes on the beach lol)
A master at writing genre fiction as literary fiction. Multiple narratives, stellar characters, a time-hopping, pre- and post-apocalyptic plot, and a killer miniseries adaptation to watch once you’re finished
I only saw her perform twice, but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else live more than once (though I obviously would like to see a lot of them live again). At least I can say one of the times I saw her was her very first US performance 🥹💔
