Really loved your reviews, we’ve got extremely similar taste even down to your reference of Stoner! I did however love Solider Sailor, her experience mirrored a lot of how I felt and thought after the birth of both my children, how she managed to articulate and bring back so many memories I hold was incredible.

Do you subscribe to the stinging fly? I had a prescription some years back and I think I might renew!

Stoner was one of those books I kicked myself for not having read sooner, a masterpiece!

I did suspect while/after reading Soldier Sailor that a mother would have an entirely different reading experience — I can’t say that I either liked or disliked it but it made me think and feel a lot. Definitely one I’d come back to if I do ever have children, though I feel like it could also be a little triggering? I felt winded reading it, and that’s as somebody with no idea of what motherhood is like😅

I don’t! This is actually my first time hearing of it (I have never been much of a magazine person) but I will definitely do a little research and let you know if I end up subscribing, thank you for the recommendation ☺️
