The Breakaway by Jennifer Weiner
3.5
thought it had predictable elements. I think that the Planned Parenthood discussion was important however making it a purposeful stop on the girls biking trip felt out of place. Good discussions of post-COVID, diet culture, and more that felt very relevant. I was maybe a little young to really relate to Abby's story, but Morgan's storyline was very impactful.
Rainbow Black by Maggie Thrash
4.0
I love Maggie Thrash and her writing and this book was quite good. I found it hard to get through at times and thought the third part was a little weird. But overall was very compelling.
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
5.0
I read this book for the first time when I was a freshman in high school, now 6 years later I decided to listen to it on audiobook. I am amazed at how timeless it is and how meaningful the themes of this story can still hold even though I am in a different place in my life.

I was not really enjoying it, but I had to know what was happening. It had some crazy unexpected twists near the end, but I think that it was not as of high praise as people made it seem. I read this book for my campus' book club, this is their March pick for the theme, Thriller.

the pacing and timeline made no sense in many parts. inaccurate stuff about the college recruitment process esp. for D1 sports
