Now I get to write a ten page long paper on this...YAY. ALL THE EXCITE. SUCH EXCITE. DYING OF EXCITE. okay I'm done with the sarcasm lol.
Possibly helped me with the AP test, but I can't say much until I get my score.
i've actually read this one before!! super duper cute
i didn't really read the last thirty pages, but that was all test-taking strategies anyway sooooo
Okay, so I liked that until the very last bit. I wasn't expecting the turn it took, so...(not that the act of surprising me was the bad part; it was more the fact that the turn itself was really, really weird.)
In a way, I thought this perhaps glorified eating disorders, and that may be a misinterpretation, but just beware.

Somehow better than I thought it would be, but different all in the same. If anyone actually understands the ending, slide into my messages lol ;)

I'll be honest, when I read this for class we skipped a few chapters here and there so I haven't technically read the whole thing, but I do think I deserve some credit for having read most of this thick book.
Incredibly interesting for lovers of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.

This is, I kid you not, the best poetry book I have ever read. I would never have read it on my own since it's not that famous, so I'm incredibly grateful that I was required to read it for my creative writing class. It's truly a remarkable piece of literature.
I don't have a ton else to say because it's poetry, so I don't think it really requires a long, full review from me. But if you're looking for a study of grief, of the before death part of grief, I highly recommend it.

It feels weird rating a memoir, like I'm rating Shaun David Hutchinson's life, which I'm trying very hard not to do. At the end of the day, though, I found the beginning far more compelling, both because it was less heavy and because it was more controlled. Objectively, this is not a bad book nor a bad memoir, but somewhere along the way, it became harder and harder to read. I don't want to diminish his experiences, but much of the time I felt like there was a gap in his development. We saw him with extreme internalized homophobia, but then suddenly able to call himself gay so easily and come out, and sure, that's his experience, but I felt like I was missing part of the story.
But maybe I was just trying to impress my own experiences onto someone else.
Regardless, his story is powerful and necessary and important; it just didn't read too well for me.
I would like to highlight the massive trigger warnings for self-harm and a suicide attempt (but Hutchinson also does a wonderful job of pinpointing exactly where to avoid if necessary).
