Recommendations with context

Reducing a book down to 3.3 or 4.2 stars doesn’t tell you what you as a reader with unique tastes will think of it. Instead, we show you how much your tastes overlap with the reviewer’s so you can decide which books are for you.

Gists

Instead of reviews, readers write Gists. Gists are a fun way to share your favorite books with individual slides for tags, character bios, favorite quotes, and more.
