An interesting rewrite of Cinderella. I think that the book was fun. I liked the characters and the plot was interesting. It’s just a fun little romance. My only main issue is that I don’t really like how Beck just knew the lie the entire time. It felt weird and didn’t really make sense in my opinion. 

Basically, I hate men. This was very well written and researched but also deeply upsetting. I hate that men are like that and are just allowed to be like that. Every man should be forced to read this book. 

I don’t have interesting thoughts on this book because I just hated it. It was boring, nothing happened, and I hate almost every single one of the characters. I hate the main character. I know she was going through a lot, but she was just mean to her friends and the people in her life. I was not rooting for her. I know that’s kind of the whole point of the book, but I prefer to be entertained and like the characters I read about and I was neither of those things. Would not recommend. 

This was good. I don’t have many thoughts. I was interesting and talked a lot about purity culture and struggling with overcoming that. I think it was good but not really memorable after a few days. 

First and foremost, I am a Theo hater. I hate the way that he walks, I hate the way that he talks, I hate the way he dresses. This book starts off slow. I didn’t know I would like it so much until about halfway or so because that’s when it starts to pick up and everything starts making sense. I have complicated feelings about Fay. She is the worst but also I get it. I frequently think I might be trans instead of a lesbian. Reading about Fay’s thoughts and feelings was very relatable and had me contemplating. The author does a great job discussing the different thought processes and experiences of someone struggling with their sexuality and gender. He does an amazing job with the nuances involved and how there isnt a cut-and-dry answer. I love Nell also. She is such a lesbian and I am obsessed. She truly encapsulated the intense homoerotic friendship that ruins your life. I’m glad I didn’t give up on this book because I thought I might have to in the beginning. It ended up being one of the best books I’ve read so far this year. 

2 chapters in he admits to three different moments of medical malpractice and based of the reviews he is racist and transphobic, so i just figured i'd cut my losses

This was an informative read about disability and multiple intersections (such as race and sexuality) and how it affects the lives of the people who are disabled. It talks about the current status of who disabled people live, the activists fighting for change, and how they hope for a better future. It shines a light on the ways being disabled affects people that you might not think of if you are able-bodied. It also talks about the many different types of disabilities and how being disabled is not one size fit all.

I love books with lore and separate books with props to add to that lore. This was a short read but I love Lemony’s writing. It’s done in such a specific way that is very engaging no matter how short or long the book is.

Simply put, I was bored. It was not entertaining and honestly hard to get through at some points. I don’t recommend this and I should just stop reading books written by men. I’m always disappointed.

This was fun. It talked about growing up as a millennial and the changes in technology. It touched on how it affected childhood and friendships. It went throughout her life and how the world views millennials. I wasn’t super invested, but it talked a lot about pop culture which was interesting.
