Faith wears her heart on her sleeve as she reads a passage that tugged at her emotions. Penguin Random House adds:
UK-based Faith is brilliant at memes, whether they're about books whose first lines live in your head or what you think you look like as a reader versus the reality. There are also plenty of great recommendations on this feed, split into imaginative categories including “I was sent to kill you” fantasy romance recs and books that you haven't seen on TikTok.
