One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
5.0
I find it surprising when I read a book from a gay girl’s perspective and it manages to accurately portray the feeling of yearning and a constant state of self doubt that we tend to go through before starting a new relationship. People whitin the lgbtq+ community love to joke about how lesbians move too fast but I’ve experienced it to be the complete opposite. Sometimes it’s a slow paced wait at the beginning, and this book shows exactly that. In regard to the time travel aspect of it, I didn’t think I was gonna enjoy it since I’m not a big fan of that troupe but its seamlessly included in the storyline. I think it was a really good book, very real emotion-wise.
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
5.0
I struggled a little bit at the beginning due to my lack of previous knowledge about greek mythology other than Disney’s Hercules. As I kept reading the book I concluded that it is not necessary to know anything, but you’ll finish the book wanting to run to google to learn everything you can. I love how all Achilles wanted was to be remembered and thanks to this book many new generations will do just that. I always say that a good book has to make me cry, that’s when I know it’s tapped deep into my emotions and this one did just that. Beautiful story
