[Jelly Bean]

She's so so so smart, and yet somehow never manages to label anything as sponsored... bleeping lazy. Do better.

Hershesons seem to prostrate themselves to give free stuff to influencers
So many of them go there. And all have tit hair

Her pure desperation to be That Girl is getting a bit painful, no?!

Oh she's better than Pandora etc. A bit more tongue in cheek. Still a wannabee though

I imagine that her dress doesn’t allow her to sit like a human being without creasing the bejesus out of it.

 

[maketheswitch]

Also ewww on pandora using AAVE - ‘hair did’. No panda, that is not for you!!!

yep this, and it's possibly tight and stiff enough all through the bodice you can't really sit in the hunched-over seat of a car without risking ripping a seam

Yeah, I really don’t think she’s that bad at all. So many other luvvies are a lot more cringe.

Oh she’s still cringe, but she didn’t come from such a privileged background and she seems clever

She probably doesn’t even realise it’s aave, just that it sounds cool and she’s heard it somewhere but it’s obvs not something in her vocabulary or that she grew up saying which is what makes it so try hard
It’s like when Beyoncé had that song that talked about ‘Becky with the good hair’ and all the media outlets were running articles on who it could be and cakes and green juices were called that etc- a Becky is just a generic aave term for a white woman and good hair just means hair that’s easier to manage. They had no idea

Insufferable.

On the latest episode of best friend therapy Elizabeth Day unironically says 'yas queen, slay'.

My husband has started saying ‘legit’ and it’s giving me the ick.

There’s way too much of this V&A party in my IG feed. Literary luvvies of London unite.

UGGHHHHH agreed. It's so cringe honestly. I doubt Getty even bothered to photograph them...

I had an ARC and really enjoyed it. But I do enjoy her as a person! If you liked her other books I’m confident you’ll like this one though, she is talented.
