I recently finished Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors, and honestly, it wasn’t quite what I was hoping for.

It promised to be a deep dive into…

John Green’s Looking for Alaska: A Journey Through Life’s Labyrinth
Looking for Alaska by John Green hit me in a way I wasn’t quite expecting. When I picked it up, I was looking for something to pass the time, but by the time I finished, I felt like I had experienced something deeply personal. It’s one of those books that, in a way, feels like…
The Emotional Depth of Stepmom (1998): A Tribute to the Women Who Raise Us
I’ll never forget the first time I watched Stepmom (1998). It was one of those films that took me by surprise, making me laugh and cry all at once.
