Read with Pride by Lucy Powrie
5.0
Ever since I was a little girl I'd see all these amazing women on TV and admire them so much. I was maadly in love with all these female celebrities and would wish to be a boy just so I could marry them as when I was younger I knew nothing different then a man marrying a women. I've been Brought up as a Christian, believing that I must like boys but that just isn't the case. Over the last year I've been on a journey of discovery who I am. I came out as bi couple of months ago and this book filled me with so much hope and happiness.
I read the first book a couple of months ago when my friend lent it to me, I'd instantly feel in love with the characters and the story. Then a couple of weeks ago I was looking into lgbtq+ books and this came up. I instantly knew I had to read it, not only had I love the characters but now there was a pride addition.
For anyone looking into reading this book I'd strongly recommend reading the first one before you read this as it carries on with the same characters and experiences. In this story the paper and hearts society carries on but Olivia Santos, head of the paper and heads society and a proud demisexual creates a group of other lgbtq+ students at her school to rebel against the ridiculous new library rules.
This book outlines the inequality against people in the lgbtq+ community and shows us that more work needs to be done to make everyone feel excepted and welcomed in society. Reading this book gave me reassurance. Reassurance that people do care about people like me and that I'm not alone, it made me realise that the majority of people are excepting and even if I'm not excepted I shouldn't be made to question myself or feel insecure with who I am. This is a brilliant book for those in the lgbtq+ community who want to read about characters like them or allies of out community who just want to read a good book.
