I just come back home pretty much furious as I had a bad day at work, but at least Lucy has uploaded a video, and I feel better already. I finished reading Normal People about a week or so ago and I agree 100% with your review. It's just so intimate, so relatable, not pretentious and most normal (in the best of ways) book I've read in a while. Like you, I did cry a few times like reading it and I could see so much of myself in the character of Marianne! Really enjoyed it, I'm definitely going to pick up her other books as well. I'm currently reading An American Marriage by Tayari Jones and I'm currently really liking it. It's the story of this Afro-American couple who has recently got married; they both seem to have got a good career ahead of themselves and they are in love. One day, when they go to visit one of the families for an occasion, they stay at a hotel for one night, when the husband, Roy Junior, is accused of having committed a crime and is condemned to 12 years in prison, although both know for sure about his innocence. It's a bit of a love story, not so much a thriller or not so much focused on the trial itself (at least as far as I've read by now, I'm like 150 pages in), but I really like it. It's a mixture of prose and epistolary novel, definitely would recommend so far. Other I've bought recently (and will be read in my upcoming holidays) are Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton and The Word for Woman is Wilderness by Abi Andrews and I've got like 3 or 4 that I've started over the last few months but have been to busy with my final year at uni to finish reading them (among them: Why We Sleep, The Unexpected Joy of Being Single, The Wildflowers and Eat, Sweat, Play).

Can I also say how awesome you recommending the body positivity book is? So many youtubers/influencers claim to be body positive by adding a hashtag and spouting phrases like; love yourself (which is fine) but you actually back it up and share with us subscribers ways to actually fundamentally feel and be body positive and help us all be in a better place when it comes to our bodies in a realistic and useful way. I just thought that genuinely needs commending!
