I just read The Book of Love by Kelly Link and it was amazing!!! Definitely check it out. Sort of a magic coming of age story? I am legit terrible at describing books but I promise you it was a fantastic read. I also read and enjoyed Good Material - that ending! If you like a fat historical fiction book, the sequel to Hild just came out - Menewood, by Nicola Griffith. Both of them are wonderful. I also read Fourth Wing which perhaps you have heard of? If you like a soothing British book about upper middle class people with problems, I recommend anything by Marcia Willlet - very Rosamunde Pilcher-esque.

I also just read The Book of Love and thought it was both delightful and fully bonkers (in a good way). I loved those characters and they are still with me.

Some that were disappointing:

End of Story by AJ Finn

The Phoenix Crown by Kate Quinn and Janie Chang

The Guest by BA Paris

Also agree with your thoughts on Homecoming (which hurts to admit bc I love her books so so much) and Weyward.

It just wasn't as good as her other novels. I'm glad it's not just me!

It isn’t fiction but I just read “The Ritual Effect: From habit to ritual , harness the surprising power of everyday actions” by Michael Norton. It helped me better understand the important of scaffolding my days when life feels chaotic and unpredictable.
