The cover makes it look all cutesy romance. DO NOT TRUST IT, this book ripped my fucking heart out over and over again. But I loved every second of their story and wish I could read it for the first time again

Truly insane, I was on the edge of my seat the whole last half of the book. I love the way Silvia slowly reels you in until your so absorbed you feel like your in the book with them.

Boys Will Be Boys: Power, Patriarchy and the Toxic Bonds of Mateship by Clementine Ford

challenging emotional informative slow-paced

4.5

This was another hard book to read. There were some pretty graphic stories that truly just made me want to cry for both myself and any one else who has experienced SA. Clementine Ford managed to make me both laugh and cry and rage all at the same time and I appreciate that so much, the only reason I didn’t give this book 5 stars is because I would’ve appreciated a few more references/citations so that when I go to show this to other people I can easily say this is where the data has come from and not get “facts over feelings” as a response from triggered boys

All in all definitely a book I recommend reading, especially if your new to reading feminist non-fix and Brad something at least a little less jarring

Talkin' Up to the White Woman: Indigenous Women and Feminism by Aileen Moreton-Robinson

informative slow-paced

4.0

This is a really interesting book but it is incredibly hard to read. I felt like I was back in uni. I would recommend other people read it though just don’t do what I did and finish it in 2 days, spread it out so you can actually absorb the information.
