Sometimes when you can’t describe it, that’s how you know it’s real.” -Love Times Infinity
This book was much heavier then I thought it was going to be. It read much older then ya and dealt with topics even adults are not comfortable with must of the time. This book definitely makes you think and there was a lot of lessons within it. This book is not a romance but it is a slob plot. This book is about a girl trying to figure out who she is and coming to terms with being a product of rape in learning that it’s OK not to have a relationship with her mother because she has all the family she needs.

“You can’t control if she hurts you. But you can control if she breaks you.”
This book was extremely heart warming and just so wholesome. This book wasn’t extremely heavy but if you struggle with grief or always blaming yourself for others peoples actions, you should read this book. While I don’t struggle with grief, I still really related to this book and was able to see Michelle grow in her character.
Seeing the friendship and relationships built in this book was amazing. Michelle is a strong female main character who had an awesome grandmother as her parent. Her two best friends also are shown in her journey and we see their own flaws. Highly would recommend. It is an easy book and a great book to read after a strong book.

TW: Sexual Assault, Alcoholism
I wanted to read this because I have never read a book with a character with this type of background. It did a good job of talking about the issues surrounding sexual assault, pregnancy and abortion without being overly "preachy" or graphic. I also liked that they normalized therapy for young adults. Therapy is not for everyone but I do think some teens could benefit from atleast group therapy.

3.5 Stars. This book is about Michie, a high schooler who is trying to write her college essays. She lives with her grandmother and they don’t have a lot of money, but she attends a high school in a wealthy area. Michie’s mom was raped, resulting in her pregnancy with Michie. Michie feels badly when rape is used as a reason for women to have an abortion. This could be seen as a pro-life argument, but an essay by the author explains that she actually thinks that there don’t need to be stipulations on when a woman should or should not have an abortion. In Michie’s case, she obviously struggles with whether her mother did the right thing, as although she had her child, she isn’t in her life. Michie goes to therapy and has supportive friends, as well as her grandmother, which is the true love story in this book.

Man, this is a good one. At every page turn, there was something new: a new character, a new event, or a twist. My library got this last year, and I am so glad they did! I plan on reading it again in 2024.
