New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
4.0
I still don’t like Jacob and I think he is a freak, but the New Moon book is a lot better than I thought it would be. It isn’t as Jake heavy as I thought and it does show a good portion of the time before he became Jacob and a loser. I had a good time and the books are slaying so far.
Book Love by Debbie Tung
4.0
This was a cute and short read. The comics throughout were just fun little short stories and quirks of being a bookworm. Very fun.
Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo
4.0
This was a good read. It felt very realistic to the time frame. It talks about the secrets people had to keep in order to stay safe. I think it was very well written and the plot was very engaging.
All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
5.0
I love this book and the movie. It is so good and does an amazing job discussing mental illness, grief, and coming of age. It is so well written and the plot is very engaging. I think the ending is devastating and I loved the story in between.
Somebody's Daughter: A Memoir by Ashley C. Ford
3.0
I have mixed feelings on this book. That is the point of the book to talk about the complex feelings on parental relationships, both with her mother and father. I kept going back and forth between enjoying it and disliking it.
Matilda by Roald Dahl
4.0
I love Matilda. It is so good and I loved it as a kid too. It was fun to reread a book from when I was a kid. Also, Ms. Honey is a lesbian and I will not take any criticism.
While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence by Meg Kissinger
3.0
Very well written and does a really good job talking about how mental illness affects individuals and entire families. It was interesting to read about how mental illness awareness has changed over time and how people would treat it in the past. The author did a good job showing the intricacies of relationships between people with mental illness.
Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
5.0
This is so good and well written. It does start off slow, but when it picks up, you get really invested really fast. Sometimes, the choices and actions that Devon and Chi make get really frustrating, but with what they are going through, their decisions start to make sense as people just struggling to make it through. I think the reveal, although you can tell the general ideas of where the author is going, is crazy and was not what I expected. The foreshadowing was done enough that the reveal made sense but that you didn’t figure it out until the reveal.
Who I Was with Her by Nita Tyndall
4.0
This was so good. I was very invested and the author did an amazing job talking about grief especially at a young age. I think it really showed the intricacies and difficulty in coming out and accepting who you are. I highly recommend.
Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over by Nell Painter
2.0
This wasn’t really bad, it just wasn’t for me. I thought some parts were interesting, but overall I was just bored and not really invested.
