13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do: Take Back Your Power, Embrace Change, Face Your Fears, and Train Your Brain for Happiness and Success by Amy Morin
4.0
4/5 - for the most part I really enjoyed this book and I loved the way that it was written. I think the examples used are very relevant and the information is relevant and attainable. Nothing wrong with this book I viewed it to be very good, just isn't an absolute favorite.

2/5 - I really wish I could say I LOVED this book but at times I found it a little idealistic and not realistic enough. I loved the bones and bare ideas/applications talked about in this book, but at times it would just get carried away and go too far down a path. Would only recommend to people who have a very open mind especially when it comes to spirituality/LOA

4/5 - I love a good romcom/contemporary romance & I love the witt but I wish I had a little more backstory & history with the characters. Over all amazing book just at times a bit too cheesy & over dramatic for me :,)
Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas

3/5 - read this because of booktok & the smut was wow but very much Wattpad vibes (which is always ok). The characters were just ok; I think I would have appreciated this more if I was in high school due to the challenges the main characters go through. Dark tones throughout but I think it added some sort of depth. Overall decent & quick read

4/5 - this book was so cute and it just made me awwwww. lived up to its hype but I wasn’t falling in love with gus like I thought I would. No complaints just didn’t get emotionally attached to it like I do other books. Overall was so good and definitely left me feeling warm & fuzzy inside

read for POL 3464 - funny & real look at work in the U.S. literally makes me never want to work and at the same time fight labor laws because this shit sucks

The Help by Kathryn Stockett
4.0
4/5 - I really enjoy the Help. It was one of the first books I read when I was younger that started to expose me to the harsh realities of our past and even our current society. I'm also not normally a historical fiction person but Stockett's writing is sucked me in faster than ever. My only issue with this book revolves around there being a "White-Savior" aspect (much like many books/movies), but overall a very eye opening & necessary read
