So much truth and to know how flawed our judicial system still is is sickening. We can do better as a country.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this book. I find that I am very much like Ari, the protagonist. I too don‘t like to be in crowded spaces that‘s noisy. I‘m not autistic, but I understand how difficult it is to be around large, chaotic crowds. Reading a book like this helps me understand autistic people better. I hope to read more like this in the future!

Heartbreaking & difficult but such an important read. Not much else to say when so much praise has been made for this book. Definitely important read that everyone should read, especially those entering college. The system is frustrating & still ridiculous how women that are the victim get scrutinized & blamed for what happens to them. Miller is a very gifted writer. Definitely one of the best books I‘ve ever read. #bookspin

AmyG I‘ll have to find this and bump it up. 7mo

Moving poetry by the LGBT singer Mary Lambert.

Perfect for poetry for #lgbaqbookbingo2024! Some formats were more successful than others, I didn‘t like the screenplay one but maybe that‘s just me and what I‘m used to.

Trigger warnings for rape, incest, and abuse.

I had no idea her story was so brutal and how much she struggled with her mental health. Some very relatable stuff in there.

This book is incredible. Dr. Ford gives a tutorial of surfing, processes her experiences, and puts her vulnerability on full display. She‘s an exceptional writer and her recap of the aftermath of her testimony was heartbreaking. I loved this book- very little about the assault and it showcases what she should be known for: an intelligent, capable, thoughtful and strong woman and parent.
