had to come here before I even finished reading to say that popcorn with M&Ms is THE elite movie snack!

Right?! It's literally the perfect combination of salty & sweet to me.

Recently I’ve been dabbling in the other m&ms in popcorn and the caramel ones are the best flavor combo so far!!

I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t hate watching The Idea of You. 😂

Haha! I thought Anne Hathaway was so good, and I really enjoyed some of the plot/character changes they made from the book.

I initially didn’t love her for the movie but she nailed it. I think the movie and book are equally fitting in their own ways. I can see some preferring the way the movie ended.

So many great book recommendations! I wish I had more hours in the day to read everything that deserves my attention. I can’t wait to get to that hew cocktail & soft-serve spot, what a perfect combo! 📚+ 🍦+ 🍸

We had the same Friday night, except sub the popcorn and M&Ms (Maltesers are great in this too, except I don't think they're sold in the states?) with freshly baked cookies. Yum.

This is so meta, I love it. The beach read is truly its own genre.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I had a wild past few weeks and feel extremely behind on all the good Substack content— this is saving me a ton of time.
