Lady Macbeth by Ava Reid
"The plot of this book pretty much entirely centers around violence against women. So: tread carefully. But it was also enchanting and weird (and therapeutic?) and I really enjoyed reading it."

Slow Dance by Rainbow Rowell
"Did this make anyone else really sad?? I think for me it was partially because Cary reminded me so much of Levi, so then I felt like I was reading an alternate universe where Levi and I spent years estranged 😭. That was my dramatic reaction! But! So sweet, so vivid! (I’m officially using goodreads reviews as a way to group text my sisters who already read whatever I just finished. So this is for you, Merry, Matea, Sarah, and whoever else)"

Well-written smut, but the ending was cheesy and too wrapped up, and the themes of food insecurity and childhood poverty rang hollow (especially after reading Eleanor and Park, which is such a vivid portrayal and deals with those themes much more adeptly). ]]>

Cutting but gorgeous. Finished it and had a bit of a cry about the crap kids go through when adults don't stick up for them the way they should. Makes me wanna wrap a blanket of warmth and safety around every single hurting kid in the world. ]]>
