I picked up Blueberries by Ellena Savage on a trip to Australia, and it quickly became a favorite. Savage’s straightforward, even bold, writing style makes each essay feel personal and honest. She covers different themes in each piece, so the book never gets boring or repetitive. Instead, it feels fresh and gripping all the way through, with each essay standing out in its own way, keeping me turning the pages. In my personal opinion, Blueberries resonates deeply because of its relatable themes and candid approach. Savage’s ability to connect her experiences to broader ideas makes her essays not just enjoyable but also thought-provoking. I found myself reflecting on my own life while reading, which is a testament to her skill as a writer. Her direct style draws you in, making it hard to put the book down.
