Over the weekend I read My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh. Not very deep, but quite a fun, quirky read. It definitely tries to be deeper than it really is, but if you ignore the pretension of its themes, it can be enjoyable.  

Yeah I found it quite funny in parts, read it a few years ago and for some reason I’m having trouble remembering my reaction to it, maybe it deserves a reread…

lol yeah it seems like a lot of people discover those books when they're quite young! i don't think i started reading her books until i was around 17, which is probably not the worst!

 

i would say that my favorites are petals on the wind, my sweet audrina, and web of dreams, i really like pretty much all of the ones i've read so far, but if i had to pick least-favorites, i'd go with if there be thorns (primarily because it's just from the point-of-view of the boys and i just prefer it being from the girl/main-protagonist of the story) and gates of paradise

Ah that’s a sensible age, my older sisters handed the books down to me when I was about 12. Rite of passage or something.

twilight's child by v.c andrews... yes, i'm still trying to read through all of the v.c andrews books i have around... this is a process which is taking years because sometimes i'll go months without reading anything, i may want to find something different to read before i start the next series after this one (also, i'm aware these books aren't necessarily literary masterpieces but they sure are entertaining!)

Omg I remember starting to read her books at such a young age, which I’m discovering seems to be a bit of a common theme… 

Which are your faves?! x
