Beta Vulgaris by Margie Sarsfield
4.25
4.25/5
This felt like a fever dream. It's so crazy that most of this story only takes place within two weeks. So much, yet so little happens. I loved the narrative of this story; I never knew what exactly was real and what was in her mind.
Thank you NetGalley and W W Norton & Company for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Spectacular by Stephanie Garber

I have mixed emotions about this. It had the same wonderful and magical feeling of caraval, but it felt very cheaty. Just because it was Legend she was making out with doesn't make it okay that she thought it was someone else. Kind of gross.
She's a Lamb! by Meredith Hambrock
4.5
4.5/5
This book was such a wild ride. I am always a sucker for an unreliable narrator. This is the perfect weird girl lit book that makes you route for a very morally black character. I love that this is marketed as a combination of All's Well and Yellowface because that was exactly the vibes it gave me.

The Courting of Bristol Keats by Mary E. Pearson

4.5/5
Wow. She has done it again. This book has such a magical setting and great characters. The ending has me thirsting for the next book! My only complaint is that the enemies to lovers moved a bit to fast for me; it felt like they forgot all their hatred for each other over night.

The Obscene Madame D by Hilda Hilst

3.75/5
Although a short read, it was a bit of a difficult read. There are no chapters to break up this monolog; there are also no quotations around what the people are saying. It was a bit difficult to figure out who was saying what. However, once I got used to the writing and figured out who was saying what, this was an interesting story. A little eccentric, but interesting.
