Something More by Jackie Khalilieh
2.0
it was a little too close to home/cringe & was also too straight i had lowkey assumed one of her friends would be gay and was disappointed.
A Bánh Mì for Two by Trinity Nguyen
3.0
definitely a debut but excited to see where this author goes!
Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
4.5
a novel of deep discussions within a family built around false perceptions that crack following the death of their middle child/eldest daughter who was both of the parents favorite. i thought it was well done, historical fiction without the writing feeling out of it.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
5.0
i read this in winter 2016 for my 7th grade english class & decided to re-read it & im so glad i did. pulled me out of a reading slump, and even though i vaguely remembered the twist i still felt pulled in & questioning my remembrance.
Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You by Peter Cameron
2.0
don’t think it’s aged well. a lot of nothing.
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.
