Add to BookshelfConversations with Friends
by Sally Rooney
No lie, Sally Rooney rewired my brain. Before her, I did not know such simple, clean writing could be so impactful. My copy is underlined and full of sticky notes, and I revisit this novel once a year. This is the genesis of my love affair with literary fiction.

Looking for Alaska
by John Green
John Green, with such attention and intention, added to the canon of the modern Manic Pixie Dream Girl. I reread this novel in my early twenties when I needed guidance; who would I be if not young and reckless? The last pages delivered, “There is a part of her greater than the sum of her knowable parts. And that part has to go somewhere, because it cannot be destroyed.”
