BOOKS
the goldfinch - donna tartt
this book is so beautiful bro. you gotta read it. theo is such a relatable main character (at least to me.) there were some parts i hated, yes, but the parts i love made up for the slow parts. i did watch the movie first and it definetly did not prepare me for this book. theos inner monolouges are so interesting to me and they hit me so hard, and his and boris' relationship is so interesting, and if youre looking at this book from a gay lens, theos views on homosexuality and himself are very ineteresting. not sure if the author intended for that but thats how i saw it. idk. really interesting book, very good. kept me hooked almost the whole time.

aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe - benjamin alire saenz
how do i even begin with this book. ive read it so many times my copy is getting worn out! i adore this book, and though its not a classic, i love it. its honestly such a nice read, literally my all time favorite book. i know a movie just came out and i havent watched it yet, but i really hope it does the book justice. ari's character, like theo, was very realatable for me. its written very poetic and sweet, and ari and dantes relationship is so cute! i just love this book. wow. please read it, you will not regret it.

MOVIES
two of us - michael lindsay hogg
i know, its stupid, but this is my favorite movie. its about john lennon and paul mccartney meeting up in new york in 1976, which was thought to be a rumor when the movie was made, but it ended up being true! michael lindsay hogg also directed let it be, the beatles last movie, in 1970, so he knew them personally, and i find two of us to be one of the most accurate depictions of john and pauls relationship. its just such a nice movie, very feel good for most of it, there is some angsty parts where john and paul fight, but who would john and paul be without a bit of a fight?

little miss sunshine
also one of my favorite movies EVER! it just feels so real and the characters are all so funny and relateable and the ending will never fail to make me happy! i also love the cinematography, and the soundtrack is beautiful!! it is a bit dark at time but as i said, it just makes the characters seem more real. ofc my favorite characters are dwayne and frank, i love their interactions at the end of the movie sm. and dwaynes breakdown when he finds out hes color blind is FANTASTIC! paul dano is fantastic.

SHOWS
barry - HBO
barry is my favorite show at the moment, and not just because i love bill hader! barry is genuinely one of the best shows ive ever watched, and even though i dont really watch shows, my point still stands. every character in the show is so complex, and its such a cool show, every shot is amazing. its marketed as a dark comedy, but as the seasons go on it gets less funny and more serious, which i love! bill haders performance is amazing, as well as the rest of the AMAZING cast! this show is so underrated and you NEED to watch it!
