It's cute and makes me want to stop and reflect more, but at times it feels like the author does not understand the systemic barriers that make people stressed.

The art is so good, but the story is so boring. It probably would have been better if it didn't get discontinued.

Perfect for anyone interested in the women who shaped science but are often erased from its history. It's formatted so well, the art is stunning, and it's easy to read and digest.

This book was suffocating in the best way. It is absolutely heart-poundingly thrilling and the prose is stunning in it grotesqueness. I didn't think I'd like a gothic novel written in the modern day but it has a timeless quality about it. It explores race, generational trauma, and eugenics in a way many other gothic novels don't. I definitely recommend reading it, especially in the fall.

This book made me cry in the library. It's a heartwarming but heartbreaking story about clinging to childhood while (nearly) everyone around you is growing up. It explores aging in a non-moralistic view and makes me yearn for a childhood where I felt free to be a child.
