THE GRACE YEAR 🎧

MUG: Monoprint Mountain Mug

BOOK: The Grace Year by Kim Liggett

DRINK: Ginger Beer

Another book recommended by someone who said it was their favorite book of 2025. This book is Lord of the Flies meets The Handmaid’s Tale. A village goes through a yearly ritual of matching young women to young men to marry but before the wedding all of the girls are sent out of the village for their Grace Year. The year is meant for the firls to get rid of their “magic” to come home and be good wives. (Handmaid’s Tale) Imagine 20 or so girls trying to survive on their own for a year for the first time. (Lord of the Flies) This is definitely an intense book but worth listening to. The deeper meaning of the importance of women supporting women was impactful. I wasn’t a huge fan of the enemies to lovers plot line but it had a deeper story line in the end. I’d pair this one with a Monoprint Mountain mug and a ginger beer.
