Writers & Lovers

“I don't read a lot of fiction, but I really enjoyed this book.”

“Such a great book. Do yourself a favor and read “Heart the Lover” next. These books are impossible to describe but make me feel all the feels.”

“I felt so transported when I read this book for the first time. Her writing is so immersive, I inhaled this in too short a time frame.”

“a beautiful and moving novel about pursuing art and a creative life, and questioning when to keep going or when to stop. loved how king portrays writing, grief, love, getting older, the community of a low paying job, basically everything.”

“the best. unstoppable. i love all her books but this one is IT.”

“That pull. That connection. That heartbreak that still sort of feels good.”

“enjoyed all the way through. cried so hard my neighbors could hear during the last chapter.”

“This is an excellent book! Very Boston.”

“I missed my subway stop reading this book which is generally a great sign. Heartbreaking, sweet, and one you'll finish quickly.”

“WRECKED”

“I love Lily King. I was introduced to her through Five Tuesday in Winter, which I also loved. I love the way she writes her characters, their depth, their faults, their love.”

“Realizing many of my recs are set in Cambridge. Or should I say, a town outside of Boston!”

“The perfect read for those that love to reminisce- you’ll laugh, cry, and wonder why it all went so wrong (or did it??)”

“I was reading this at The Crosby Street Hotel Bar and the woman next to me turned to her husband and said, "she's reading that book I couldn't stop crying over while we were at the shore."”

“Loved sm.”

“All time favorite. Have never wanted to stand up and cheer for a protagonist more. A thoughtful look at art, the cost of creating it, and true passion.”

“I tear through her books. Damn good writing makes damn easy reading!! Lots of love triangles and sentences that stop you cold.”

“Love. Friendship. Life paths. Forgiveness. Human experience.”

“Still thinking about these characters. ❤️💔”
