Sometimes the Girl (2025) had me hooked with how densely packed the pages are with the main character’s thoughts. After Holiday’s brother’s attempted suicide, and her girlfriend becoming her best friend, and planning on moving to New Zealand with said friend, her days are packed. She gets a job organizing the attic of an aging famous writer. I enjoy how their personalities clash and how Holiday gradually learns about this woman by totally not snooping through her things (just cataloging). Her close relationship with her brother is also endearing and refreshing to read.
