#TransRightsReadathon Book 2
Loved Neil and his dumpster fire journey of figuring out love in all its capacities. Trying to dodge the sudden and unwanted feelings of his friend (with benefits), Neil convinces his roommate (who doesn't like him) to be his fake date at his brother's wedding. What could go wrong? Spending a week among his transphobic family is nothing compared to confronting the feelings he's been burying about those closest to him.

In my little reading challenge, I had to let go of ‘A Tale of Two Cities‘ as the hardest part of reading is starting the book, and as the start was quite slow I didn‘t get the flow. So, I moved to the next book on my list, ‘The Ghosts We Keep‘ and I finished it a hour ago. I am completely amazed by the style of writing and the accurate portrayal of grief. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I missed my brother more than anything I‘d ever missed before. And I knew that I was never going to stop missing him. But I had to learn to live alongside the pain, alongside this missing part of my life that I‘d never get back.

The summer after my brother was killed, my parents made me get a job at a frozen yogurt shop.

Liam has just lost their brother in a tragic accident, is struggling in school, and feels like they‘re losing touch with their best friends (who are dating one another) and feeling left out. The whole story is the process of grieving and looking back at the moments shared with their brother.
This story is the ugly side of grief, Liam is hard to like because their grief is raw and ugly and mean but it also is a very good depiction of it.

I did an entire reading vlog of this excellent book about grief, self-discovery, and life after loss. My channel is YouTube.com/KathyTrithardt and this video can be found at https://youtu.be/MGVPykQxR08 📚

Every week, I highlight #lgbtqauthors as part of #TheRainbowShelf🏳️‍🌈 Mason Deaver is an author and designer from North Carolina.

Gonna read this one as I flip through Monsters of Men! Let's see how this one attacks the very important subject matter of self-harm. I'll let you know my thoughts as soon as I finish! 📚

“If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill, take it and #push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edge of edges, then you force it into the realm of magic.” ― Tom Robbins #QuotsyNov19 (not sure if quote is from the tagged book)
