Wellness By: Nathan Hill
A story about marriage, relationships, hopes and life in the 90s Chicago area. This book exhausted me. There were two books inside this one novel and maybe I didn’t give it a real chance once the second book started … but at 75% I realized I was dredging picking this monster of a book up.…

HIS NAME IS CWIZ BY: JEREMY RHYNE
DNF. I gave up on this one.To be fair, I gave up on it due to the style of the actual book. I just don’t like super short stories/essays like this. It doesn’t keep my attention. I did giggle along to a handful of the stories I did read. But I didn’t feel connected to…

The second book was meh, I was thinking ‘okay, she’s just trying to bridge us to the big finale for the third book.’ WRONG. I…

BEAUTIFUL WORLD, WHERE ARE YOU BY: SALLY ROONEY
I can already hear all the critics praising this profound novel and then I think … did they even read it? I will admit I did not read Normal People but I did watch the Hulu adaptation of it and found it was enjoyable. I now see how Rooney was able to make a series out of her books.…
