a practically perfect female protagonist + a love interest with the maturity and intelligence of an almond = a very mid YA romance that barely has any romance

Sam and Sadie desperately need therapy to overcome their miscommunication, narcissistic tendencies, and paralyzing insecurities. and yet despite all of this, I still found myself rooting for them.

also "Chapter VII: The NPC" is among the best pieces of literature in the 21st century. second-person narration is so difficult and Zevin does it so perfectly. I think we'll be talking about that chapter and her narration for a long, long time.

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed

5.0

Cheryl had me convinced that I could also hike the PCT with little to no preparation and gain clarity about grief, but after going on a 1.2 mile hike this morning, I am glad to say I am no longer confident in my nonexistent abilities. nonetheless, a beautiful memoir with biting, funny, and lyrical writing.

Khalil Gibran is my favorite feminist. and philosopher. and theologian. and don't even get me started on how beautiful his writing is. Gibran is simply exquisite.
