@a_bookishgirl Dangerously close :-)))

@EnvelopeNotes1 Haven't got a clue yet! I've just always found the premise fascinating and have been meaning to read it for ages. Now that I finally have a copy, I'm dangerously close to actually reading it.

Found this behemoth at the local bookshop. Now if only I could find the time to actually read it... The Count Of Monte Cristo has been on my tbr forever, so buying it feels like I've technically completed 50% of the mission! #booktwt #BookTwitter

I took this photo earlier today. Urban gold.

A house. Just a house. October 2025.

Alice's Life, A Diary of Modern Life: Alice Kane and her friends came of age in 1990s Charlestown bound by secrets, dreams, and the belief their lives would always move up. Fast forward into their early thirties, their adult paths diverge, ranging from ground-breaking neuroscience research and cut-throat New York careers to criminal activity and descent into mental illness. Their futures aren’t unfolding as they hoped—there is no shortcut to contentment. Mysterious and unexplained life-or-death events begin shattering their lives, bringing them back together, along with the past they never truly left behind. While the first chapters immerse readers in the everyday reality of Alice Kane and her close-knit community, the novel gradually deepens into extraordinary dilemmas of love and friendship, unveiling a world where nothing is quite as it seems. And in the background, a kaleidoscope of modern life is turning—from all-nighters working on Wall Street to the ethics of AI in brain research, or simply navigating the challenges of dating in NYC. Lyrical, filled with raw honesty and reflections on becoming older and the choices we make, holding up a mirror to the readers’ own lives, Alice’s Life is a story about the beauty of human relations, building resilience in our imperfect world, and finding ourselves when it matters most. This book reminds us that life is full of extraordinary moments—if only we choose to see them.

Hi friends, I’ve been quiet lately. I was finishing my debut book, and it took me a while. But I’m finally getting there, with the release date coming up on November 11th. Alice's Life, A Diary of Modern Life is a contemporary fiction novel about coming of age in adulthood and learning to see the world as it really unfolds, rather than the one we imagine. I’d be delighted if you’d like to read an advance copy and leave an honest review. If the story sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to send me a message. I’ve posted a brief summary in the next tweet. Thank you so much for considering this novel. Maria #Booktwitter #ARCReview #BookRelease #ContemporaryFiction #BookCommunity
