after almost 4 years of being friends with my booksta girlies, some of us met up for a lake trip weekend and it. was. everythinggggg.

something about finally seeing the girls i’ve talked to only on my phone and then being together was so special! we all decided to read beach read together and that was such a cutie experience!! i will forever cherish the fact that this worked out and we were able to meet up together

once again i feel so grateful that i made this account and pursued my hobby of reading because it has led to such beautiful friendships, conversations, and moments that make me excited to live (and that may sound dramatic but we need all the love we can get in today’s world)

☀️📖 Beach Read Review:

I read this for the first time with the snirlies !!! Slay !!! Best time to read it for the first time !!!

This is one of the first times in an Emily Henry book where I prefer the guy over the girl. Gus was an emotionally unavailable yearner. His story made me tear up several times. Like yes I would choose you :( u matter :( ahhhh

I did still like January though!! Idk why y’all are hating on her.

I also love Pete & Maggie <3 icons !!!

4 years of yearningforus 💌

can't believe it's been 4 years since i made the beer decision ever !!! to starting off with a moody aesthetic and only posting "aesthetic" pictures, to slowly starting to post my honest reviews, to sharing more of my life in my maaaaaany photo dumps, to not posting anything last year due to being busy with work and taking time off social media, to now feeling refreshed and wanting to post again.

cannot thank you enough for sticking with me while i discovered what i truly wanted to do with this account. to my snirlies, i love you so much and i cannot wait to see what random convos we have this year and to those that have been with me with the start, thank you truly.

here's to a fun and whimsical 2026 !!!
