@naomiracmay: i want you to be happy by jem calder is going to be a book that will define 2026. it is a will they, won’t they love story for the ages, touching on love, loneliness and modern life. through a slick, sparse 250-word novel, calder perfectly puts words to how alienating being a young person today is and i cannot recommend this book enough. for fans of sally rooney (who’s a huge fan and supporter of calder’s). it is fantastic @Faber Books #booksbooksbooks #book #BookTok #BookRecommendations #fyp
It’s terribly written. There’s no depth to the storyline, it’s confusing, and there’s no real connection between the characters. It’s shallow, and so much of it just doesn’t make sense. It lacks everything that makes a good book. We need to stop hyping up male writers like this fr 💀

This is giving Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors and that book broke me. I was sobbing so hard throughout. So if this is anything like that, I will highly enjoy!

My only problem with you Naomi is that I literally can’t keep up with you and you are forcing my hand at buying more books when I have a million unread already 😂

I was so excited for this but I’m halfway and I’m still waiting for it to get good lol I feel like both of the characters are sooo surface level and we really don’t get much from them I really want to root for someone but it’s kinda difficult lol Normal People has soooo much heart and so much chemistry and depth! Books that actually remind me of Normal People are: Talking at Night and Sunburn!!

Not for me. It’s so bleak and monotone.

Finished my proof last week! Wanted to pull my hair out and go back and reread . SOOOO WELL WRITTEN and it didn’t give me what I wanted which frustrates but satisfies. Agree with you it’s very Sally Rooney-esque!
