My Life in France by Julia Child, Alex Prud'homme

5.0

I may be biased, because I love all things Julia Child, but I really enjoyed this book. I love hearing Julia tell her story - her voice is so present, it feels like you can hear her unmistakable expressions. I also love how romantic her life in France felt, but not in a pretentious, or unimaginable way. I also liked hearing about her strained relationship with her father - the way she grieved him and their relationship. Her love for Paul and vice versa was also so heart warming. I would read this book more then once just to feel the story all over again. The end made me cry. I love you Julia!

You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat

5.0

I can never resist a book about a complicated relationship with a mother and this relationship wasn't painted flat. I really enjoyed the way the book was written - it successfully weaves memories with the present. I'm also here for the bi Palestinian perspective.

Mona by Pola Oloixarac

Wth was that? I couldn’t wait for it to end, then the ending was the wildest part.

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang

5.0

The main Character is the most unhinged and entertaining villain. Side note: the audiobook narration is sooooo good.
