Review: Very Bad Company

Very Bad Company
Very Bad Company by Emma Rosenblum
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Books that do these over the top startup founders stuff is a bit old for me at this point. Fun, light read but leaves me with empty feeling in the end.

How to Hide in Plain Sight
How to Hide in Plain Sight by Emma Noyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beautiful story, covering issues around family, love and most significantly mental health. I love books that aren’t scared to show the messiness of mental health issues. True and beautiful.

TJ Klune can do no wrong if you ask me. His characters, his beautiful dialogue and his giant, incredible heart. I am so grateful for stories like these.

Review: The Life Impossible

The Life Impossible
The Life Impossible by Matt Haig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy Haig’s writing and his ideas are always so creative. This book was much slower moving for me and it also was more unusual than his other ones but underneath it all, it’s still magical, touching and beautiful like all his stories are.

Review: Echoes of Memory

Echoes of Memory
Echoes of Memory by Sara Driscoll
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked the concept of this and while I totally didn’t guess the ending even though i kept thinking i would (because it wasn’t super twisty like so many books seem to be now) I think the pacing threw me off as a result. But nonetheless the characters were interesting and i enjoyed all the memory bits.

Review: Embracing Hope: On Freedom, Responsibility & the Meaning of Life

Embracing Hope: On Freedom, Responsibility & the Meaning of Life
Embracing Hope: On Freedom, Responsibility & the Meaning of Life by Viktor E. Frankl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a collection of Frankl’s speeches and lectures. For me, it’s a must read. In fact, it’s the kind of book I need to read once a year to make sure I remember what matters most in life.

Review: The Trees

The Trees
The Trees by Percival Everett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This might be my favorite read of 2024! This book manages to be both laugh out loud funny and deeply devastating at the same time. Everett’s characters are so funny, so well done and his dialogue is unparalleled. If, like me, you still haven’t read this, i cannot recommend it enough.
