This sounds like a wonderful contemporary, and I am SOOOO in the mood for this kind of book, and I love the fact that it takes place in New York! Great review, Mollie!
I LOVE how you talk about books, and quotes are the best! As you say, sometimes a quote can so perfectly articulate the feel of a book :) Hope you had a great vacation x
Such a thorough and amazing review! I'm past that young twenties stage in my life, but I love books that pay so much attention to character interaction, and how people impact each other's lives. I'm waiting for this to come in at the library, and now I can't wait!
This is an awesome review! If I wasn't on a minimal book buying ban I would put this in my Amazon cart immediately. I love how I feel your passion for this book through this video!
Your articulateness and enthusiasm in this review, (and the pretty cover) were the reason I purchased this book. I'm 16 years old so I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me, but I'm willing to try. I was definitely shocked to go on Goodreads and find many poor ratings and 2-stars... Could you try and understand their perspectives and why this might've been a bad book for others? I just don't understand how one can completely be in love with a book, and how another can't stand it. Thanks! :)
I'm always on the hunt for books about people in their twenties, and this ended up being a much coveted coming of age story about a twenty-something that I thought was so unique and special. The environment, the characters, and YES the writing. There are so many quotes and scenes you can pull from and obsess over. (I wrote down my favorites too!) But at the same time everything fits together in a kind of thrillingly weird disjointed perfection. I loved it.
I bought the book because of this review. It was like pulling teeth to get through the last half. It just waddles around aimlessly and then wanders off.
Thanks girl!! :) It wasn't hard to gush about this one... definitely beeeautiful writing. You said it right on Voxer... I'm definitely envious of her writing, haha.
I am sure being the fan of Sweetbitter that you are - You are well aware of Starz taking on this series this upcoming May - The trailer looks amazing -- I am currently listening to it on audio and loving it --- Thanks for this review!
Lovely review, Moll! This sounds like a book that will inevitably give me an existential crisis...but for some reason I really love that hahaha. That last quote gave me CHILLS. Also, Zoe just chilling on the couch is everything.
So I was having the book right and than I was about to read the final chapters but I move houses and I think I lost it ,like But did she stay with jake ?😤👌🏻 just tell me the answer ! Like idc ! If I need to read it more! I just want to know that !
hello to your kitty who shadows you in this video :) i am currently reading this book, and i agree the writing is beautiful, but i really wish there was more plot. i am 50% in, and i'm getting really restless, because not much is going on, just a lot of descriptions and mini-episodes.
Isn't she the cutest? And oh, yes, this is definitely true of Sweetbitter... it's not for everyone, unfortunately. Definitely more character-driven, and I loved it more for the beautiful prose. I think a lot of people feel the same way you do about the plot though!
Idont know fifths will post but I found a you the video of terri hatcher interviewing the author of sweet bitter and she reads a few pages as well as talks about it. Thought you might like it. ua-cam.com/video/r7Hss-fZ4Ps/v-deo.html

Thanks so much! I love those kind of books too, of course. :) Let me know what you think if/when you pick it up!
Would love a character analysis on Simone. I know I’m four years late lol but I enjoyed your review.

THANKS girl ;) Hahaha, existential crisis is right on the money. But it's just so GORGEOUS. And Zoey = everything all the time.
I love watching your videos! I think you have great taste in books and you make me want to start a booktube channel!
Aw thank you so much :) You SHOULD start! It's so fun, and it's a welcoming environment! xx

I'm going on holiday and I'm sold on this book - so excited to get my teeth into this now
YAY! Let me know what you think of it. :)
I just checked this out from the library after hearing your review, can't wait to try it :)
Awesome!! I hope you love it!
you've sold me on this book, Mollie! Such a wonderful review, thank you :)
also your cat having her own little adventure in the background is the cutest.
Eek glad to hear it! Lol, my cat is always having her own little adventure. She's silly.
I didn’t know it was a book. I just checked it out on Starz. I liked the first episode
Definitely putting this book on my tbr,it sounds so good!
It waaas! I hope you love it. :)
I didn't know it was based upon a book,now I want to get it
I would really recommend that you read Wei Hui's "Shanghai Baby"! It's also got that raw, vulgar but true feeling to it that I think you'd enjoy!
Hey! Love the quality of your videos! What camera do you use?
Love you videos, binge watching them.
Hey Adriana! I use a Canon T3i. :) They don't make them anymore, but if you check Craigslist, you may be able to find one! Thanks for all the love!!
You're making me want to pick this book up!
DOITDOITDOIT. ;)

So glad you liked it! I hope you enjoy it. :)
Thanks girl!! :)
