Just finished this stunning collection! 🔥

Beautiful writing, heartbreaking characters, and just enough of the fantastical to make you believe anything is still possible. Highly recommend!

Reading THE DISAPPEARED by @andrewporter01.bsky.social was like sitting on the back patio with on old friend on a balmy summer evening, sharing a bottle of wine and catching up, talking about the small things, that are the big things, that are everything.

10 out of 10! No skips! ✨

Just finished OUR MISSING HEARTS by Celeste Ng. And while admittedly I wasn’t as sure in the beginning (Ng has set a high bar afterall), it eventually hit its stride and finished with just the right bang!
