As close to as perfect as a HR set in America can be! I loved these two together and it was just a delight!
Sweet Berries by C.M. Nascosta
This felt like a very early draft. There were tons of typos and the structure of the story felt confusing. Ultimately I think that some reworking could have made this a 4, but as it was released, a 2 is generous.

So FREAKING GREAT. I would read this a thousand times. The characters are so perfectly human, despite one being a mega celeb, and every single trope included was perfectly executed. Plus it was STEAMY in all the best ways. I loved it.

A little simplistic but overall gave me a lot to think about. I liked it a lot!
Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know by Malcolm Gladwell
fast-paced
1.0
Malcolm Gladwell is a cop and rapist apologist in this book. With every chapter he should have gone one further step to make it clear that all of his suppositions do not include any factoring in of the misogyny or racism that comes with his subject matter. Some chapters were interesting but others were full-blown ghoulish. Do not recommend at all. The format was super well done though.
