Loved your reviews for Dream Hotel and Deep Cuts!! I read both books after reading your post and reviewed them on my Substack.
I personally liked the song analysis in Deep Cuts, but I see how that could be boring for other readers. I think I’m in the small minority of people that wasn’t wow’ed by Dream Hotel. I enjoyed it, but I thought the world was a bit too black and white.
I saw recently that Deep Cuts is getting the A24 treatment with Saoirse Ronan and Austin Butler starring and, well, I imagine the author must still be drunk off the news
Oooo wait wait. Figures as soon as I hit send an alternative interpretation dawned on me: not one of the books had you already or previously read, which is notable considering all the books you get sent (and presumably buy). Yes I think this is right.
I’ve always bypassed Curtis Sittenfeld books, but maybe I’ve been missing out! Loved these reviews
I just read Romantic Comedy - my first of her books - and devoured it. Great narrative, can see what the hype is all about 👌🏻
These sound great. Thx
Ohhh I have all of these, and as always, your reviews have me itching to read them!
I have read Fundamentally and Piglettes on your recommendation and loved them both! I will check these out next. Thanks so much Pandora!
Off to buy Deep Cuts with the mention of it being for Daisy Jones fans 👋🏼
lmk what you think!
Sold me on Curtis Sittenfeld. I’m going in!
American Wife is her magnum opus. Pairs nicely with Meg Wolitzer's The Wife!

I loved the dream hotel review!!! It has made me even more interested in the novel. I need to get my hands on it.
The Other Americans defo stayed with me more (I'm not really a dystopi-fic gal) BUT it's still excellent and deservedly long-listed
ok interesting!!!! - maybe I'll read The Other Americans first bc I hate hardbacks and that is the only format available for Dream Hotel rn.
Same! It’s sounding very ‘Black Mirror-esq!’

I saw this right after I published this! (Reminder to GOOGLE SHIT)
Wait not one of the subscription books have you read? Did I read that right?

Yes! (Clunky phrasing no doubt on my part.) I just love that every single time they send me a book I never own and usually have not heard of
