difficult and dense read...part 6 chapter 7 really endeared this book to me
White Oleander by Janet Fitch
3.25
This book didn't astound me but i think i liked it? jury is still out. i got really bored at the 2/3rds mark when astrid moved in with rena, but i liked yvonne and niki a lot. between this and godshot by chelsea bieker i'm realizing i don't like books about womanhood or motherhood, but the selling point for me of white oleander is that it isn't solely that if that makes sense? it's a child and a parent, not just a daughter and a mother. of course both these things are heavily intertwined but idk. i learned by listening to parts of this book while driving that i don't like audiobooks (i read most of it on kindle though). i didn't like the sudden jump from the conversation with ingrid to living with paul in germany, it threw me off and was kind of off putting
The Sunshine Court by Nora Sakavic
0.0
series review: it's no wonder these books are all self-published because nora sakavic writes like she's only ever read fanfiction...this book is the worst offender out of the 4 so far in that aspect
i had to come back and lower my rating because all nora sakavic writes is torture porn and also she treats her characters of color so WEIRDLY nicky hemmick is such a racist & homophobic caricature and wtf is up w the yakuza stuff. at least this book is better than the first three in terms of the racism but jesus christ i hate her
