The speaker was hooked on the book, which is a fantasy novel, and enjoyed the idea of escaping into a happier world.

"

You could be listening to this juicy fantasy audio book that I'm currently addicted to, A Court of Thorn or Roses, but you're a lot smarter than me because you chose to listen to something that can help you create a better life instead of trying to escape yours by disappearing into a world of fairies.

Just imagine that there are two different worlds. And one world, you're living in right now. And the other world is the world that you have the ability to create. So this is just an exercise, right? I want you to find some clues, so that I can be a happier me here.

When you're reading a fantasy novel like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or Fourth Wing, isn't it interesting that the main character has this ability to pass between worlds?
