Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig
3.0
A cozy little read, similar to reading your best friend's diary, except for when you remember this is not your best friend's diary.

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
3.0
During a time when everyone was absolutely buzzing about this book, I never really cared for it enough to pick it up. It only ticked my radar when a friend of mine had recommended it and let me tell you that It Ends with Us was NOT the book I expected it to be. No spoilers, but when I saw the direction this book was going, it had me FLOORED. I was hooked and had serious book hangover by the end of it. Usually I'm not one for romance novels but Colleen Hoover said "Just trust me," and I'm so glad I did. This book changed romance books for me forever. It's not your usual fluffy and cutesy romance, Hoover is not afraid to get real about the complexities of falling in love. This novel will rip your heart out from your chest and you'll be grateful for the experience. I'll be thinking about this book for a long time.
1/17/21 edit: After letting this book marinate a little, it's definitely not one of my favorites. As an empath, I sense Lily and Ryle might be a badly written characters. /j (my 3/5 rating is not a joke)

Happiness: Essential Mindfulness Practices by Thích Nhất Hạnh
4.0
Peace begins with me... Happiness is a simple grounding book that isn't too religious or spiritual to understand. Pick up this book and I promise you that there will be something in here written just for you. I will be visiting this book many more times.
NOT A BOOK: The Cheesecake Factory Menu by NOT A BOOK
2.0
Impressive menu, had my mouth watering without images. However, it was extremely excessive, I doubt that there is anything "Asian" about their Asian dishes. Almost wanted to DNF it half-way through because of the "Weight Management"/"Skinnylicious" section, but I pushed through. A jumbled mess of a ride, but I always find the "Desserts" chapter to be one of my favorites.
