Happy October Friends!! A little recents + review 📖🍂🫖☕✨

RECENTS: Walking around the north side in the rain looking at all the leaves and pretty buildings, chai and reading time at my favorite coffee shop, soup + over the garden wall night with friends, and slowing down and getting ready for chilly weather once again 🍁🎃

REVIEW: Karro by @jennymustard 5/5 ⭐ 

A modern retelling of Anna Karenina, I was immersed in Karro. Incredible dialogues, stream of consciousness style, and oozing with seduction and self sabotage, I could not stop reading. 

OVERVIEW 
I went in blind and so should you, given the chance. If you like messy reads and wrestling with the human condition, you'll like it. 

If you've read any of Mustard's other books, you'll find this one in a league of it's own. What makes Karro stand out is a new writing style, I found similar to Katie Kitamura but more digestible, like Mustard let loose her creative flow straight onto the page. I flew through the pages that all melted together, slipping between dialogues and the decomposing metal state of our protagonist. 

I have not read Anna Karenina nor did look up anything about it until after finishing. I find it stands perfectly well on its own, so don't worry if you don't know the original, it will just make your read through all the more thrilling. 

READ IF YOU LOVE
- messy women 
- moral debates 
- all vibes no plot 
- unlikeable main characters 

Karro comes out April 20, 2027 🖤 Thank you @tin_house for this advanced copy:')
