bookshelves: essays, nonfiction
This read was a layered experience. Aiden Arata writes beautifully—there's a dreamlike, dense quality to her prose that pulled me in but also made me pause often to fully absorb it. Lately, I've noticed this with essay collections in general for me: last year, I devoured them easily, but this year, it's been more of a slow vibe.

This collection explores the strange tenderness and anxiety of being young and online today, touching on meme culture, stay-at-home girlfriend content, emotional commodification, and the often-blurry line between online and offline existence. Arata captures the contradictions of digital life with sharp insight and vulnerability.

There were times I felt like I was almost drowning in the language—getting lost in the current before resurfacing with a new thought or a new feeling. But honestly, that feels fitting for a book about living through the internet's strange tides. If you're looking for a collection that mirrors the disorienting, beautiful mess of modern online life, this is one to sit with slowly.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy!!!!!! ]]> Rating852032208 Mon, 28 Apr 2025 09:53:12 -0700 <![CDATA[Tate (booktimewithtate) liked a userstatus]]> /
