Milk Fed by Melissa Broder
4.0
not weird enough...
i thought that the book was about the mc being breastfed by her love interest, i'm so sure someone present this book like that so i truly expected the book to be way weirder
still a good book about mommy issue, ed, sexuality, and the longing to a spiritual connection

I decide to read cause of the autistic rep and I end up quite disappointed by how the the subject was flown over same with the adhd, there could have been so much how Phoebe felt when she get a diagnosis and the change in her life with the meds, but no nothing we miss out the inportant stuff but at least she gets a diagnosis no like Grace

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
I did hear that they were some misogyny in this book but I decide to still read it anyway hoping that it would not be that bad.
I was wrong and I'm quite sad that the misogyny in this book is not getting more talked.
here an excerpt from the book :
well said Giovanni, 'these absurd women running around today, full of ideas and nonsense, and thinking themselves equal to men - quelle rigolade ! they need to be beaten half to death so that they can find out who rules the world.' I laughed. 'Did the women you knew like to get beaten?' He smiled. I don't know if they liked it. But a beating never made them go away.' We both laughed.
