Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

3.0

I'm a huge sucker for cute romance, so I did enjoy this a lot. I liked the writing of the interpersonal relationships, the different setups of chapters, and the inclusions of illustrations! A lot of creative ideas. I'm not sure how I feel about the twist, and Maddy's family backstory was underdeveloped, as well as Maddy's own backstory. I would recommend this book if you like cheesy romances that have some new takes.

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

5.0

McCurdy has a very specific and honest way of portraying the way things happened and the way she was feeling while they were happening, as well as a really amazing grasp of her perspectives at each time in her life. I loved the sectioning of the book! A very good read, and an interesting perspective into how the film industry was at that time. Definitely a cultural touchstone. She will be remembered for this.

All Tomorrows: The Myriad Species and Mixed Fortunes of Man by Nemo Ramjet

4.0

This was really interesting and thought provoking, though it didn't fully capture me the way other books often do, I'm not really sure why. Still, really interesting, and a good concept to discuss with others.
