Surviving The White Gaze: A Memoir

Rebecca Carroll

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

DNF @ 18% on audio - I think I'd just rather read a physical copy of this one, so I'll be coming back to it.
adventurous lighthearted fast-paced
Loveable characters: Yes

I received a free eARC from Netgalley and First Second in exchange for my honest review. 

I really enjoy when a young main character solves a problem that adults have created and this book did that very well. The storyline was engaging and the illustrations were so beautiful. Mannaert’s work is new to me, but I’m looking forward to checking out more.

Perfect for fans of Measuring Up and With the Fire on High. 
informative inspiring fast-paced

This book is visually very beautiful and definitely makes you want to get your shit together, but a lot of the tips are for bigger spaces than most folks probably are working with. 
funny lighthearted reflective fast-paced

Loved this one, especially on audio. Probably need to listen to this again every time I fall back into the habit of saying yes to shit that I don't want to do.
informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

This book just reaffirmed that I need to quit my job LOL narrators of the audiobook were fantastic.
hopeful reflective medium-paced

Recommend this one on audio. Being from Michigan, I especially liked the beginning chapters about his life growing up in Michigan and coming to terms with his sexuality.

I really liked this book as it was from a Canadian perspective. The format was really interesting, following a calendar year in Toronto. I listened to this one on audio, but definitely want to pick up a copy to revisit.

At first, I was bummed at how little OTH content there was, but honestly I really enjoyed the book overall.

I received a free eARC from Netgalley and Amulet Books in exchange for my honest review.

I think the concepts behind this story are really fresh and interesting, but I think I wanted the book to be longer so the storyline could be developed further. The art is really cool in black and white and I look forward to seeing the final story in color.
