Stefanie- Thanks for these recommendations. I'll now be looking into these pieces of literature for my weekend reading. But the Vision quote stood out, too: “What is grief if not love perservering?” I think the first time I heard this I balled my eyes out. So true. And so dark and light in all the right places. A keen description of the human condition and spirit.

Thank you! Hoping to have another newsletter out soon with more recs :) I really love that Vision quote too - you never know where you're going to find beautiful bits of wisdom like that.

I loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I wasn't so much a fan of Evvie Drake starts over. Books I loved this year: Riley Sager's Home Before Dark, Verity by Colleen Hoover, and Circe by Madeline Miller, thanks to your recommendation!

Booktok is crazy about Colleen Hoover but I haven't read anything by her yet. I've heard she's emotionally ruthless with her characters and I just don't know if I can handle that right now. Is that a good assessment?
