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.

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.
