3 Unsolicited Recommendations
(( for fans of Fleabag ))
* all of them are around 200 pages, have that strong flavour of feminine chaos, neurotic sexploits, sharp social observations, and unfettered access to the characters deepest darkest thoughts.

1 - Luster by Raven Leilani
Edie is in her twenties, stuck somewhere between depression and apathy, and burning her way through a slew of bad choices, when she finds herself invited into the life and home of a married couple and their black adopted daughter as she does her best to find her place in the world.
2 - Hysteria by Jessica Gross
A guilt-ridden sex obsessed college student walks into a bar and falls into a reflective relationship with a bartender that she's pretty sure is actually Sigmund Freud. It's chaos all the way down.
3 - I'm a Fan by Sheena Patel
This book y'all, how do I even explain it lol. It's a single perspective intense character study of a woman who has become obsessed with a glamorous american influencer after learning that she is romantically entangled with the man she's cheating on her boyfriend with. Or trying to, at least. Bad decisions and biting social commentary made this one genuinely so addicting to read lol

i just finished hysteria by jessica gross and i'm trying to articulate why it left me so dissatisfied (spoilers ahead, if u care). it's one of those books abt a young woman who fucks a lot men and engages in masochistic acts and would generally probably be diagnosed with bpd by a therapist who equates fucking a lot of people with a personality disorder. that's why it's so funny to me that this book was something like a marriage plot, but for therapy. instead of the main character making communal connections, romantic connections, the book ends with her finding a therapist. it's framed as a very positive ending, as her finally seeking to change and get better, but the entire shift to positivity was so abrupt. she has this enormous epiphany that she will never be able to get the kind of love she wants from her parents, and then wham she's making a therapy appointment. i'm very suspicious of the framing of therapy as something inherently beneficial as opposed to a system that flattens and trims human experience into something digestible to the therapist.
i just looked up an interview with the author, and i find it funny that she's very clear on the fact that the mc's parents being cbt therapists is comorbid with them being bad parents.

"If I were Devi, I would've picked Paxton."
Well, you're not Devi. She didn't love Paxton and she moved on from him.
Paxton didn't pick her, either. He moved on from her.
Ben never moved on from Devi. Devi never moved on from Ben. They dated other people to distract themselves from each other, but they were always drawn to each other.
In the end, there wasn't a choice. There was only Ben for Devi and Devi for Ben. You don't have to like it, but that's how it is.

I was bored and made some Season Four related memes. I mostly made them to be petty about Ethan, but I got carried away. 😂

being a lesbian into reading fics for the defenders is absolutely crap because i just want to read some wlw karen page fics,,,and yet i cannot find any that aren’t xreader or xoc. i feel like lesbians could use their imagination and write some karenxjessica stuff. or clairexjessica tbh, they were very blatantly flirting in that one ep
I know right!! Claire and Jessica have mad chemistry it is insane! Also I love Karen and Jessica there's so much potential to tell really compelling stories about addiction, but there's no fics for it (and like I understand why that's a really heavy subject but like I feel like they have more in common than they have different) and also Karen and Claire!! Karen and Claire bonding being the dumbass wranglers that have to put up with superhero bullshit
