Moose Baby by Meg Rosoff
1.0
This was a fun, weird and easy read.
Just what I needed after the last book I finished.
But I didn't really get it

Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan
3.0
Bisexual Girl in love with straight dude who has a girlfriend, decides to fake dating her lesbian best friend to get that boy's attention...
This can't end well.

I am probably stepping on someone's toes when I say this, but I feel like Elouise is a confused girl, or rather a girl who doesn't know who she wants.
But when she realize who she wants in the end, she hurt some people along the way.
×
This book touches subjects such as cheating, fake dating, BFF to lovers.
It actually pissed me off how Elouise tried to split Nick and Jessa up (even though they had a rocky relationship) that isn't something you should do.
And this is yet another book about fake-dating a have been reading lately and I am so over it.

Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
4.0
"Such a fun age" is the first novel of author Kiley Reid.
I found it extremely well written and a very easy read
But I find it even harder to review, because how can I review it honestly without stepping on someone toes..
.
In the midst of a family crisis one late evening, white blogger Alix Chamberlain calls her African American babysitter, Emira, asking her to take toddler Briar to the local market for distraction. There, the security guard accuses Emira of kidnapping Briar, and Alix's efforts to right the situation turn out to be good intentions selfishly mismanaged.
.
What I loved about this book the most, were how Emira took care of Briar.
And I felt sad when Emira decided to quit her job, for the right purpose though.
In my mind Alix/Alex is this suburban selfish mother, who only cares about herself and her 2nd born, and well she does love Emira, probably more than she loves Briar or her husband.
In the end their work relationship would never work, if you ask me.

Diary of a Confused Feminist by Kate Weston
4.0
There is something weirdly satisfying when you read about the same mental problems that you have.
How you felt in the beginning, how you feel in moments.
You somehow feel connected with the fictional character.
I did when I read this one, and it was like it hit a nerve, and I started to weep.
I had a hard time stopping again.
Though at the beginning of this book, it is clear that Kat has some mental issues, which comes to light further in the book.
.
This book you he's the subjects such as feminism and mental health, which is a two important topics.
It is pretty obvious that the TimesUp movement have been a huge piece in this book, and I really enjoyed it.
.
This is a funny, heartwarming story about a girl who doesn't feel like she's a woman or a grown-up, that's she is a late bloomer some would say.
I definitely laughed at times and cried some places.
This book is being written as a diary, which gave it short chapters (well days mostly) and made it an easy and light read.
