Ok, I stupidly thought this was a book of short stories even though right on the cover it reads “essays.” I share this because I am glad I caught my mistake after the first essay, so I could enjoy the rest of the book as the first selection makes a terrible short story, but an incredible essay. Ha!

I loved this essay collection of longing and obsessions. Like all collections, there are hits and misses, but her writing was so incredible I didn’t even mind the ones I didn’t connect to as strongly.

I have so many pictures of quotes from this book. I loved it.

oh god, this was beautiful. Not at all what I was expecting but still just as satisfying. A fast favourite – i'm already downloading the rest of her books as we speak.
