- THE WIFE APP is part social commentary, part juicy beach read.
- I loved that the three main characters all came to the Wife App from different vantage points. Even though on the surface their lives were quite similar, they all had different reasons for participating. I very much enjoyed the gossipy, juicy social and relationship dramas they all went through during the launch of the app (PS - the cover doesn't say it, but this book is queer!)
- The book only touches briefly on the class aspect of an app like this - how this is simply transferring the mental loads of wealthy women onto gig workers - but doesn't really do anything about it. It seemed like the author was checking a box here so as not to get dinged for it.

- ALL THE YELLOW SUNS caught my eye randomly on Netgalley, and I'm so glad it did. This book is one of the thorniest YA novels I've read in a long time, getting deep into the nuances of the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality, all while having a set of characters who feel real.
- I love a book where girls are allowed to be messy and angry and make mistakes. I also love a book where what's a mistake and what's the right choice might not be immediately clear to the characters, and this book is all that and more.
- So much of this book is about the gray areas, and when good people do questionable (or bad) things. I think YA often gets knocked as being simplistic, but ALL THE YELLOW SUNS shows that doesn't have to be the case.

- FALLING BACK IN LOVE WITH BEING HUMAN is a small gem of a book. It's a series of letters and poems to fellow humans interspersed with prompts for reflecting on these subjects and caring for yourself.
- Thom writes to everyone from fellow trans women to TERFs. Each piece is meditative and filled with love for the humans under the masks. Even when the rage boils through, there is still love at the center of this book.
