I wanted to love "Beautyland" by Marie-Helene Bertino - a neurodiverse protagonist who loves science(!) - but it didn't quite live up to my expectations.
But now I'm 11 chapters into "Circe" by Madeline Miller, which has been a wonderful journey so far. Miller knows her Classics! Highly recommend 📚 #books

This is the worst review for my book on Amazon. All things considered, it's not too terrible.
I do hope the reader eventually found my book. https://www.amazon.com/Science-Kissing-What-Lips-Telling/dp/0446559903/ref=sr_1_1?crid=YITNQIK117KX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bRlJP0iM51WRLdKJzj4prNJ7BTt47neNyVXO7qiysAG9cPAhPWVgl3fZHrdwBGELiCp5p-zbE0qv3b20DlTYEF4XB4EdnCqryXANq4ex91tVhlBS9GHqa_FXZbPyGRObKLLtpDcEIlKp_mcPusOuoWalMi7luWGrBmPOnFsoyxu-5BwQ4q9Fb9wIMQ6vDN5Pv-RcoL2vu-v_X18QzUq44uNszYLF2RNVTHs1x6KNK7Y.ovA5UMsytHhve08pyMA7WIZC5dTj30HPkryEcOHPLRE&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+science+of+kissing&qid=1769007805&sprefix=the+science+of+kissin%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-1#averageCustomerReviewsAnchor #books
“You're an interesting species, an interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams & such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we found that makes the emptiness bearable, each other.”
- Carl Sagan, Contact
