Reviews with content warning for Racism - Juliet Takes a Breath

This book is a must read for all people especially white feminist who can uphold so many toxic and harmful institutions even when they think they are doing good and that spaces for QTPOC are vital and scared. Juliet’s growth is incredible and the learning she does is amazing. Loved it.

Holy sh*t I love this book so much. I’m mad at myself for not reading it sooner. Juliet is the queer brown icon I wish I’d had as a closeted queer youth. Watching her growth and struggle with defining both her queerness and her feminism resonated with me deeply and I wish those were internal struggles and self reflection that everyone (specifically white cis women) took the time to have. I saw myself in her and in the women around her. I don’t want to give too much away, but this book is worth all the hype and will forever hold a special place in my queer heart.

I really liked this book. It was recommended to me by a friend and now I recommend it to whoever sees this. It follows the main character on how she figures out what she wants in life, who she is and what the world is like. It's amazing story of self discovery and not everyone is who they seem.
