Just Because You’re A Therapist, Doesn’t Mean That You Know What You’re Doing With Your Life

Tell Me Everything by Laura Kay

December 12, 2022 by Abi Leave a Comment

Natasha is a mess. A very specific type of queer mess. She’s a therapist, and if she’s being honest, she would have a lot to say to herself if she was one of her own clients. As is, she’s finally moving out of the place she’s been sharing with her ex even since they broke up, continuing to be flatmates in the time since, moving out as Georgia wants to move her current girlfriend in instead. Then she meets a girl at work, kind of. […]

Here are reviews for the books I read in July that I didn’t have time or energy to do a full review on. Note: I was out of work in July so I read a lot. The Woman in Cabin 10 *** Read this while on a cruise ship and it definitely gave me some interesting feelings! A relatively entertaining thriller. I’d read another Ruth Ware book but wouldn’t rush out to do so From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen**** […]
