The Mary Shelley Club by Goldy Moldavsky

4.5

I'm so glad I stuck out this book bc bram the man that you are... but anyways. I just knew there was something so wrong about how easily Rachel was falling in love with frankie(?) i forget his name. Like girl focus! But it was so good, I didn't expect that plot twist at all. At all. 
 I can't forgive them for killing her friend. this book was so good. So dark. I need more😭😭

How It All Blew Up by Arvin Ahmadi

3.75

I imagine that this book is catharsis in some aspects so I don't really have much to say, however I wish this was a movie. I really liked it 

Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman

challenging emotional funny lighthearted reflective medium-paced

3.5

Chani is a real one, this book was for all the girls who wholeheartedly believe that their celebrity crush would fall in love with them if they met. At first I upset that they didn't get together when they first met but I guess the whole point was to prove their yearning for each other. Normal people if the people were actually normal.

I cannot forgive the book for ending like that. So matter of fact and so, I told you so. I wanted more. So much more. I could not stop reading, this was so intriguing, a real page turner. this was so so fantastic I love how everyone was so wrong but it was so hard to see everyone gaslight blythe. Violet, when I catch you and Fox, it's over. Why is it so hard to believe mothers ?

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

How It Feels to Float by Helena Fox

It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini

medium-paced

3.5

Well I did it. I finished the book a grown man wrote constantly emphasizing the details and size of middle school breasts. 

To me, this was like diary of a wimpy kid. Not necessarily because of the writing but . . . the vibe. I forced myself to finish it and was it worthwhile. No. 

3.5 because I was happy Craig sorted it out.  

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

Personally the writing style(?) isn't for me.  It felt like I was trying to read a middle school series again in highschool. This could be because I've watched the movie already and i know what happens.

3.0

I dont know what this book is about. One might say it entails that story of unconditional love and what not, but to me, it felt like pure chaos. I really disliked the "sorry god" moments, while i am not a christ follower it still felt extremely cringey and like the author was trying to give readers revelations in between brandy popping percs. *However* It was a bit shocking and there were lost of plot twists I'll say that. 

this entire experience just feels like its for yt wmn. Tried to give female fight club, failed extensively. highlight: Evie's wedding
would i read again?: yes, but only to see what i highlighted

edit: I want this to be a movie but it has to be one of those freaky 90s style movies with a beautiful girl on a staircase with a shotgun and cigar
