Sula is a perfect book. Just absolutely perfect. I read it when I was 16 and it changed me. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts when you’re done!

for cult watching - you should watch escaping utopia! I watched it last month and it is fucking wild, wildest cult doc ive seen in a hot minute, I think you'd enjoy it. And UK Traitors Season 3 (UK traitors is superior agree) - it's good!!! imo season 2 still remains the best thing on TV, its hard to beat, but season 3 is still good fun! I don't want to say anything about it really but when you're watching it, text me xo there are still some good characters, and moments, but unfortunately I think its so hard to follow that harry & mollie arc which was iconic.

When I say I tried to track this escaping utopia show DOWN—it's not streaming anywhere here. I'm watching season three now and its been decent but you're right, season two is incomparable.

My Best Friend's Wedding is one of my favorite movies and a great example (IMO) of a story where in real life I would probably detest every character (sans George!!), but in the movie I am delighted and charmed by them. So good! <3

I was so annoyed with the main characters the whole time!! but I was still charmed in the end. I'm glad to tick it off my classic romcom list.
