My Good Bright Wolf by Sarah Moss
4.5
I really like this on audio, I liked the naming of her parents as caricatures. It was raw and vulnerable and definitely touched on body image and food issues that I think many people can relate to.
The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions by Larry Mitchell
5.0
It was wacky. it was insightful. It was heart crushing. I can see how it is an essential queer text.
The Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich
5.0
Excellent writing, multiple points of view, short chapters that kept me wanting to turn the page. I appreciated the commentary on climate change without it being directly in your face. A great novel about class and expectations.

Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling by Jason De León
5.0
An incredible book, excellent on audio. I love how the author embedded himself in the border guides’ lives and not passing judgment on the decisions they often were forced to make.
