Enjoyed it while reading it, then forgot about it almost immediately

Who is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra Andrews

March 3, 2022 by Ellesfena 2 Comments

Plot: Florence is an editorial assistant at a publishing company who one day sort of accidentally-on-purpose blows up her unfulfilling life.

I’m trying to document all of the books I read on here to better hit my cannonball numbers. These are ones I’ve been meaning to upload into combined reviews but haven’t. Some are good, some are eh, but most of them just didn’t merit a lot of words from me at the time I finished them for various reasons.

    I felt the same way. Interesting concept, but the execution was lacking.

    on Sometimes, a book cover promises cats and lies. This book, on the other hand, delivers in spades. SO many cats, guys.
    Sooooo many cats!!
