Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

"I never found you funny, I never found you entertaining, I never found you smart, I just found you annoying."
Honestly I found this book kinda cringe, I found the way Dash talked very ostentatious, and Lily was very much a not-like-other-girls girl. Maybe it's because I watched the TV series first, but I did find the show more genuine and there were less attempts at humour, unlike the book.

Last Tang Standing

DID NOT FINISH

A little too cringey as an audiobook for my tastes.

Becoming

Michelle Obama

4.0

inspiring reflective slow-paced

I like how open Michelle is about her childhood, her life before and after meeting Barack, and her involvement with politics. You can tell she strives to uplift the life of the younger generation, and genuinely cares for her work.
