Loveless by Alice Oseman
3.0
This book was very relatable for me, as an asexual, and I found myself going: oh my god that's me!!!! in a way that I had never done before in any piece of media I consumed.
I just think the drama in the end was unecessary and the writting is not really the type I most enjoy. But I think everyone should give it a try.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Honestly one of the only book (series) from my adolescence that stands the tests of time. It's even better nowadays, now that I can identify more easily all the details and nuances of the society the author built and how it relates to our own world.

Charmain was annoying, but the story was fun. I love the way the author builds her world, so casually.
Tipo Uma História de Amor by Abdi Nazemian
3.0
I think this book tells an important story, but from the perspective of a cis gay man - which left out important figures in the LGBT+ movement, like all the black trans women who fought with their lives for our rights and against AIDS, and who suffered just as much as cis gay men.
Besides, the characters felt flat to me. They didn't make me feel things. The only time I teared up was in the author notes at the end of the book.
I didn't have great expectations for this books, but I still felt a little disappointed.
It's not a bad book, it's just... missing something.
