Can I Say Something?17 Feb 2025

reviewing 5 books in 50 minutes

your ciss cueens review the following 📚

my body by emily ratajkowski – a bestselling essay collection that dives into beauty, power, and what it means to be seen as a woman. it got a lot of buzz when it came out in 2021, topping the new york times bestseller list, and really shifted how people viewed emrata. some controversial takes here, beware.
the seven husbands of evelyn hugo by taylor jenkins reid – probably one of the most viral books on booktok. it came out in 2017 but blew up in recent years, especially with the old hollywood vibes, lgbtq+ love story, and that addictive, twisty plot. it’s been on bestseller lists for years and is getting a netflix adaptation.
i’m a fan by sheena patel – a dark, sharp debut novel from 2022 that’s all about obsession, social media, and power. it won the british book award for fiction debut and was shortlisted for the dylan thomas prize. it’s not as mainstream, but super loved in literary circles and has that cool, cult-favorite energy.
i who have never known men by jacqueline harpmann – a haunting dystopian classic from 1995 (translated from french). it stayed pretty underground for a while, but has had a huge resurgence lately on booktok and booktube. it’s this eerie, existential story about women held in captivity and what happens when they’re freed into an empty world.
normal people by sally rooney – the book that kind of defined a generation. it came out in 2018, was longlisted for the booker prize, and turned into that iconic bbc/hulu show. it’s all about love, miscommunication, and growing up, and it made rooney the voice of “millennial intimacy.”
