Hello Gabbie!

I had no Taylor Swift in my Top 100 for maybe the first time but if I did it would've been champagne problems. My bottom three songs were I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore by Lucy Dacus, Rumour Has it by Adele, and Shake it Out by Florence and the Machine.

Re the Guest: I loved it. I thought the lack of detail (including background and motivation) made it more interesting. Why are we doing anything that we're doing in our early 20s? I don't particularly know to be honest. Twas an entertaining if stressful romp through the Hamptons.

Can't wait for the Gabbie Reading List. Have you read Other People's Clothes by Calla Henkel? Need to know your thoughts.

I haven’t read that but I added it to my list!! As for The Guest, you’re definitely right about why do we do anything in our early 20s, but if you were doing the things Alex did I would at least ask you Katrina why lol. I would have just loved if she expanded more on her life before Simon.

I was talking about this with another friend and I was getting at the fact that I think this book would make a really good movie. Really suspenseful and I think seeing the relationship with her and Simon on screen would entertain me more than it does on paper, because I think it’s a big reason why I wish she had more backstory. Have you read any other Emma Cline? Should I give her another go?

Miss you!!

Hello gabbie!

Love the newsletter this week!

I did not get Burlington but Santa Cruz California. Does this make me a straight™️? Anyway my bottom three songs were kiss me, easy skanking and zengadyw derekou. So 90s fall movie, Rasta escapism and Ethiopian jazz. I’m just not like other girls *tucks hair behind ears*

There was no Taylor swift but there was in da club by 50 cent soooo do with that what you will. I did listen to her this year on our blend and playlist of yours I listen to, enjoyed very much.

Love the Christmas tree hunting pic! I miss the northern hemisphere holiday festivities instead of hiding from the UV index here lol. Also would absolutely love the book ranking!

Love you

Xxx

My marsa!! According to the rest of the internet Berkeley, Burlington and Cambridge are the gay ones so unfortunately you may be correct. Kiss me was also on my top 100 songs!! I always feel like I do most of my binge music listening in the colder months like winter and fall but I guess not because all my top songs were Harry Styles and yes he’s an all year round artist, I definitely listened to him most in the summer. I hope you’re staying safe in the southern hemisphere and keeping yourself entertained. I miss you more than words can describe. I love you more!
