Not all WGL but a couple gems
Had to shelve some of the unhinged books for later. The vibes were messing with my SAD anxiety. But I know I’ll get back in the mood for them soon enough. Current reads: Mad Mabel and Sunburn.
I enjoyed Skin Contact quite a bit. It’s not WGL but it definitely has the introspection that I enjoy in a lot of WGL. My marriage is ENM, so it was a fun one for me.
If you want to branch out from the unhinged, it might be an enjoyable read.
Edit - request for ratings so here’s my impressions
Fruit Fly - Good audiobook. Fun read, MC qualifies as WG
Big Little Truths - Great sequel to the first
Etna - Such a short and simple book, I really enjoyed it
Pretend I’m Dead - Not bad, not a lot to the plot but enjoyed the characters
The Road to Tender Hearts - Quick and fun read despite murder and abuse (who doesn’t like a cat narrator)
Normal People - Very character driven, might be slow or flat for some but I enjoyed it and enjoy literary fiction in general
Nothing to See Here - Quick, fun WG read
East of Eden - Classic literary fiction. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I definitely didn’t enjoy it as much when I read, and have long since forgotten it, in high school. (Re)read in anticipation of mini series.
Whidbey - Depressing
Skin Contact - Really enjoyed
Alias Grace - Really enjoyed (read before I dive into older Netflix mini series)
Go Gentle - I enjoyed the first half of this book and then it just got overly chaotic. Like the editor or author decided it needed some excitement so threw a ridiculous and overly elaborate mystery/heist in
