⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review - The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley @clare_pooley⁠ ⁠ This book lulls you into a false sense of security by pretending it's just a sweet little book about a notebook pulling a community together but it ends up looking into a lot of messy problems people come across in life, with plenty of plot twists, surprises and heart-wrenching moments. I absolutely loved how unique all the characters were and how they were all struggling trying to live up to expectations, whether the expectations were their own or someone else's of how they should live. It just goes to show that no matter how bad you think the situation is, talking to someone else could help you get it out or ask for help to resolve it. It's an important message to keep in mind and remind yourself of on a regular basis. It's easily one of my top books in 2021 and it will be a firm staple on my shelf that I will be recommending to anyone and everyone.⁠ ⁠ This book is definitely one you need to have a nice cup of tea with, despite the fact that you'll be so engrossed in it that it will inevitably go cold. Otherwise, make your way to a cafe like Monica's, where someone can keep your mug topped up in regular intervals. ⁠ ⁠ QOTD: If you were writing an entry, what's something you'd write about? I think I would be somewhere between Monica and Alice, I have big expectations about where I should be or how I should present myself IRL and online, but very little idea about how to get there.
