My last August read was The Jungle Book (which I honestly bought for the cover NGL...but I actually ended up loving this book 🥰) 
The beginning was definitely much more captivating for me as that is the story we are more familiar with. The author goes on with other side stories at the middle/end and I didn't enjoy those as much. 

The relationship between Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera is honestly family goals 😭 and I couldn't help but feeling an overwhelming sensation of cuteness and love when they interacted with each other!!

I give this four out of four red flowers 🔥

Lessons learned,

- A family self made can be just as important and supportive as a blood family, if not more!

- DO NOT get close to the monkeys!!!

- When in foreign land, always make sure you have permission from the natives to do anything. I like to extrapolate this to house visits and borrowing books as well 😂

notes

- I absolutely adore how random and organized the Law of the Jungle is omfg!

- I'm loving the introduction of these animals. Name first, species later and what they're known for immediately after 🤌

- Shere Khan, fuck you!
