“Everything I Know About Love” by Dolly Alderton: Love Letter To Your Twenties (BOOK REVIEW)
If I got a pound for every time I laughed out loud while reading Dolly Alderton on the tube, I wouldn’t be a millionaire, but I’d be a rich man nonetheless. This book is that funny, that sharp, and that alive. What pulled me in wasn’t just Alderton’s voice (which I find instantly addictive), but her ability to recount […]
“Dandelion Is Dead” by Rosie Storey: It Is Never Too Late To Be Alive (BOOK REVIEW)
I am a sucker for a beautiful book cover, and when it looks like a literal piece of art, there is simply no universe in which I am not requesting it. Enter Dandelion Is Dead by Rosie Storey – immediate yes, immediate intrigue, immediate “this is going to hurt me, isn’t it?” […]
“Jackson Alone” by Jose Ando: To Lose And To Find Oneself Through Reflection (BOOK REVIEW)
I’m proud to share that I read Jackson Alone by Jose Ando in a single sitting. One train ride, and I devoured this sharp and unsettling novella that was sent to me in advance on NetGalley, despite the fact that I like to take my time with books (a.k.a. spend ages getting through them) […]

“He’s the Devil” by Tobi Coventry: Being Bad Never Felt So Good (BOOK REVIEW)
This moment feels like something I manifested. I’ve had my eyes on He’s the Devil by Tobi Coventry ever since that stunning cover dropped a couple of weeks ago, and when I kindly got sent a digital copy prior to its release on February 12th, 2026… let’s just say I couldn’t sit still and had to devour it right away […]
“little scratch” by Rebecca Watson: The Dilemma to Speak Up or Stay Inspired (BOOK REVIEW)
I went to a Faber event in late June where they showed me around their office at The Bindery in London. Naturally, I couldn’t resist not checking their selection of titles near the reception area and little scratch by Rebecca Watson was one of the books that stood out to me. […]
“Julie Chan Is Dead” by Liann Zhang: Self-Destruction In The Name of Fame (BOOK REVIEW)
Being home for a whole month means only one thing – I will most definitely run out of paperbacks to devour. This time was no different. In the end, I surrendered to my all-time favourite Kindle and found Julie Chan Is Dead by Lianne Zhang waiting to be picked up. This book had intrigued me for the past couple of months with its promising premise. […]
