Real Life by Brandon Taylor
4.0
the overwhelming experience of being a young person with a brain filled with too much. the feeling of things happening to you and around you but not being able to fully experience or understand them. this book was a wonderful look into how we keep living
Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi
4.0
emezi’s writing is inspired and isn’t afraid to take risks (especially for a debut). do i think the narrative was perfected? no! but i haven’t read anything quite like this before and i addddored so much of the conversations going on in this book about the human pysche, sex, trauma and faith. emezi always provides an interesting read and a perspective that feels completely worth your time exploring

Graphic: Self harm and Sexual assault
Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics by Marc Lamont Hill, Mitchell Plitnick
4.0
very informative of the more modern relationship between israel and the USA that was undoubtedly pushed under the radar until recently. admittedly not as much of an exploration into the leftist relationship with palestine as I would’ve hoped but a really valuable read for contextualising the horrors going on as we speak
