Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth
•••
So devastatingly accurate to the tragic teenage lesboerotic lovefriendship that it actually inspired me to contact my old tragic teenage lesboerotic lovefriendship. Wrote her a letter listening to Sufjan Stevens. Did not go well. Read during late summer.

Three Years with the Rat by Jay Hosking
•••
I read this a few years ago and it instantly joined the short list of sci-fi novels I actually like. Mind bending, surreal, and written by a neuroscientist. He also makes pretty good ambient music which I'll probably write another rec for. Thought about this book for a long time after finishing it.

East of Eden by John Steinbeck
•••
It felt like everybody was reading East of Eden last summer but I'm posting this for the people who were not reading East of Eden last summer because they should've been. A beautifully written book so thick with themes that I can hardly talk about it to someone who hasn't read it. Ultimately a story about the fight between good and evil within every person, and how the winner is always up to us.

Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis
•••
C.S. Lewis is often credited mostly as a Christian author but he is absolutely not limited to Christian writing. While there's a lot of insightful commentary about religion in this, it isn't commentary limited to Christianity and it isn't the only kind of insightful commentary in the book by FAR. A beautiful, atmospherically rich, and philosophically deep retelling of the classic tale of Cupid and Psyche. Also a fantastic female perspective from a male writer, in my humble opinion as a certified woman.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
•••
A criminally underrated gothic classic. Shirley Jackson is such a fantastic writer and I can't believe how little talked about this book is. The house is almost a kind of character in this. If you like dark family secrets, weird teenage girls, isolation, ostracization, and alienation, read this book immediately and I mean like right now.
