Behold my second five-star rating of the year. Writers & Lovers follows Casey, a 31-year-old writer who feels like her life has lost direction. She’s grieving the sudden death of her mother, works as a waitress, has a huge student debt, and then finds herself stuck in a love triangle between Silas and Oscar.
I loved Lily King’s writing style, the way she makes seamless transitions between heartbreaking moments and hilarious scenes, mimicking life because as bad as things may seem, not everything is black or white, and not all moments are entirely good or bad.
At times I identified myself with Casey, mainly because of her personality. She felt like a close friend that I was able to comprehend without questioning or judging her. Her train of thought was familiar and relatable. This is my first time reading a book by Lily King and I’m already searching for her other books, which I can’t wait to read.
Overall, it was a witty and memorable read!
