Oooh, I am intrigued! We just traveled to London and I love magazine / journalism culture vibes.

I've been excited to read this one since you sent it to me and it's on my summer reading TBR, this makes me all the more excited that I added it!! Also YES to talking about books we love, this is something I'm highlighting in my summer reading issue thanks to your emphasis on it. If I'm still thinking about the book now, it's worth sharing again.

Exactly! I love that Substack fosters that mentality (over some of the other apps 🙃)

Okay, you've made me want to add this to my TBR! Curious if you read A Winter in New York by Josie Silver because as much as that cover hooked me, it was a DNF for me!

I read it and didn't love it! I should have DNFed it. I did enjoy One Day in December and The Two Lives of Lydia Bird though ◡̈

I loved this book and don't think it got enough hype. I would read tons of books with the same vibes. So cozy. Love the older characters.

Interesting! I don't usually read romance but this sounds cute. I love the idea of young Redford vibes. I just bought Long Island, which may be the opposite of a love story. I'm getting ready to cry! xo

"we should keep talking about the books we love, not just the new ones we've read."

I love this sentiment so much! Also, this book sounds wonderful and I have it on my TBR shelf, so I need to pick it up soon!

I loved this book so much! It’s a perfect day-dream, beach read for this summer.
