Down the Drain by Julia Fox

Go to review page

4.0

I think it’s kind of crazy that I have not seen  this recommended considering Julia Fox was everywhere for so long. I think she is a good writer, she told her story so well. It was interesting to get a view into her life and the experiences she has been through. It was a mix of inspiring and devastating to read her struggles but also how she overcame and fought back.


The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This is such a well written book. She does such a good job making the world seem real and with imagery and descriptions. It’s such a good commentary on government and authoritarianism. I do still hate Gale even in the book. 


Song of the Six Realms by Judy I. Lin

It’s not a bad book, I just don’t like fantasy. It was a good plot but I kept losing interest because it really isn’t for me. I don’t have much to say besides they should’ve been lesbians.


Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

4.0

Somehow Jacob is worse in the books than in the movies and Charlie literally is the worst which is upset. Overall, I think it was a good end to the series. (Breaking Dawn is not canon, I love how Alice changed Bella to a vampire at the end :D) I thoroughly enjoyed reading this series and all my thoughts on the movies pretty much stand in the books also.
Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton

Honestly it was mid. It was mostly thoughts I had at like age ten. I don’t disagree with her thoughts and lessons per say, I just don’t think it was a very engaging book.

I do not accept Breaking Dawn as canon btw. The series ended with Eclipse. That being said I did not necessarily hate this book. Honestly, I could get past the Nessie of it all if they didn’t have Jacob imprint on her. I wouldn’t have been happy but I would’ve coped. The imprinting is somehow worse when reading about it than watching it and I hated every moment. The rest of the book was good and I like the ending. It was very fun to read this entire series.


Learn Your Lesson by Kandi Steiner

4.0

I loved this book. It was so heartwarming to see the characters grow and learn together. The author did a good job at intertwining serious conversation and lighthearted situations. I loved seeing the relationship build between Chloe and Ava. Frequently in single parent books, the kid seems like an afterthought but this book did a good job making it clear that Will is a father and cares for his daughter while also having a good amount of romance.


In The Game by Sloane St. James

2.0

Each character in this book felt fake. Like charactertures of what they were supposed to be. I didn’t really enjoy it and honestly Barrett just irritated me throughout the book. He got slightly better, but he just kept pushing Raleigh to do things she wasn’t ready for and it was just annoying.


Unlikeable Female Characters by Anna Bogutskaya

3.0

I love unlikeable female characters. They are my favorite characters honestly. This book does a really good job talking about unlikeable female characters in media and how they are perceived by society. It shows how even the slightest thing can hurt the image of woman and goes into the details of why these characters are hated.


Queer as Folklore by Sacha Coward

3.0

This was very intriguing. It is interesting to read about things through different perspective, specifically queer perspectives. I wish they would teach more queer history in schools and that it was more easily accessible. There are a lot of things in here that I didn’t know about or would have thought about since it isn’t considered mainstream.
