2025 book 187

 Lily King's Writers and Lovers

This is another one that is SO good and engrossing even though the plot description sounds like whatever!! And it was so interesting to read after Heart the Lover, knowing how Casey's life will be in the future. Here, she's in her early thirties, struggling to write her first novel, drowning in student loan debt, grieving her mother, waitressing for a living, and dealing with various romantic situations. Again, doesn't necessarily sound like anything unique based on that, but it IS. (Also, I am already invested in Casey as a character--but I think I'd have loved this anyway. Ps she did go to Duke!) Another beautiful book and I can’t believe I waited so long to read it. I am now a Lily King stan. A.
