This discusses struggling with mental health and overcoming the effects of it along with falling back into old patterns. I thought it was very good and I loved the inclusion of photos and other art. It added to the reading experience.

Kind of a crazy read. I did not expect the plot twist at all and it was kind of crazy to see how it was built up to that point.

I love Bree and hate the Volturi. She deserved so much better. I liked being able to see her life before the fight and her thoughts on everyone and everything that took place. It’s a nice novella to expand on the twilight universe. 


Wendy, Darling by A.C. Wise

3.0

It was interesting to see Peter Pan from a grown up, different perspective. I thought the aftermath was interesting to read about and how it affected Wendy in her adult life. I do think that I don’t really agree with the book and how it took place after, but I thought it was intriguing nonetheless.


The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet by Neil deGrasse Tyson

3.0

I thought this was a good read and interesting to read about the process of categorizing planets. He goes through what happened with revoking the planetary status of Pluto and how the entire process happened. Along with that, he also goes over the backlash. I love how everyone bonds together over defending pluto. It’s the true uniting discussion in America.

I loved this. It was so fun and had a good mix of serious topics also. I loved all the characters, main and side, besides the obvious villains. I just love Cinderella retellings also, they are always so creative.

I don’t normally like thrillers, but this was actually really good. It was an interesting plot and had a good mix of not being exactly sure what was going to happen next, but still having the plot twist and reveal make sense.

Sapphic poetry is so fun. This was my first book about romantic love poetry that I actually truly enjoyed. It felt relatable and was very good. I recommend this book.

5.0

She does such a good job discussing grief and growing up. She talks about friendship and how important foundational it is for everyone, but specifically for girls growing up and throughout each stage in their lives. I loved this book and its focus on how important it is to have meaningful friendship.
