DNF
This author cites Wikipedia and far-right extremists. His points are valid, but he alienated the vast majority of parents rather quickly. When he started recommending Alex Jones documentaries, I was out.

This book is definitely a mental trip.

Jay is seriously passionate about this topic and it‘s clear why. I think some people would feel he‘s too emotional about this, but I think it works for him. I watched the documentary he talked about and it‘s stunning how callous some of these doctors are. “Oh, you‘ve been traumatised by this medically unnecessary procedure? Get over it.” 🙄

I‘ve been trying to process this one for ages now. The first part is a good conversation starter. The second half is such a patchwork of pre-fab prayers it‘s hard to take them as genuine. Maybe if this had been done as a collaboration between the author and other people on the paths for these prayers it might seem more genuine and therefore be more helpful. By the end, my eyes were sort of crossed and I was just happy it was over.

Started this one after Kim Jiyoung. Had been debating getting a new therapist, but by the end of the intro I knew it was time! I downloaded the PDF of the questionnaires and wow talk about clarity! I don‘t know if any real healing has happened yet, but someone is ready for therapy now. Very clear how both my mother and grandmother expressed their emotional immaturity. Talk about an eye opener!

This was a really quick read. The end felt really sudden, but I felt like I got to know all but one character really well. I can see why this helped to start multiple feminist movements. Korean boys and American boys (just all the boys) should have to read this book and learn to understand Jiyoung‘s perspective. What a game changer that would be for all women.

This isn‘t from the book, per se. It‘s from the closing credits. Totally recommend the audiobook. If for nothing else, than for Richard Pendragon‘s door! Tell Door Pendragon that he‘s a “good door”… by listening to him in this audiobook. 💀💀💀

This one left so many questions on unanswered, unlike Unhinged, but that is probably because this is planned as the first book of a series. I am sincerely looking forward to reading the rest of this series. An intriguing story. I love the female centred 🌶️🌶️🌶️. Highly recommend if you‘re into magic and loving triads.

5 squeaky doors for this book. This is 100% an instagram made me do it situation. I saw multiple funny posts about this one and finally gave in. It was hilarious, but it also made you actually feel for the characters and inhale the plot (yes, it‘s got a well thought out plot). I wouldn‘t mind a sequel with this couple to see how they‘re getting on a few years down the line.

The Sum of Us was enraging in the best ways and really eye opening about some things I never thought of... like why we had to pay $120 each summer for season pool passes when I was growing up.
