Bli hvis du kan, reis hvis du må ; Alle vil hjem, ingen vil tilbake ; Det finnes ingen helhet by Helga Flatland

emotional hopeful reflective tense

• Diverse cast of characters? No

3.5

Denne var helt grei. Veldig mye jeg ikke kunne relatere til, og det påvirket opplevelsen av boka betydelig for meg. Det var ellers en fin og variert skildring av sorg og mennesker, relasjoner og identitet. Jeg ser for meg å lese denne på nytt og kunne relatere og reflektere til nye avsnitt og nye setninger hver gang. Det er det fine med å skrive om menneskelige opplevelser; alltid *noe* å hente

New Kid by Jerry Craft

I am an adult and this is a kids book. Hence no star rating. 
I think the topics in the book are very important and glad that it exists. I also think this should be one of many books on racism that a kid should be introduced to, as it doesn't cover one issue to the full extent nor all the issues with the proper nuances etc. An alright book

This was a very comforting read for me. 

I borrowed the audiobook on the libby app. But I want to keep some quotes safe here till I purchase a copy: 

"And here was everyone taking it for granted that I must be miserable when I wasn't."

 

"I want to spend my whole life doing nothing. For my whole life, until I die, I want to just breathe without anyone interfering in my life. That’s all I wish for."

"She's far happier thinking her sister is normal, even if she has a lot of problems, then she is having an abnormal sister for whom everything is fine."
