This book made me cry a lot and stay up all night because I couldn't put it down until I knew the kid was going to be alright! A six year old child survives a school shooting and his family deals with the aftermath. A beautiful story of finding hope and happiness in the darkest time, but God, it breaks your heart on the way there!

What I read this week:

Wench: Beautifully moving story of the relationships between enslaved women.

Six of Crows: Oceans 11 with magic and teenagers. Great Dialogue!

The Need: Not my thing, but we'll written if it's yours!

A Madness So Discreet: made me forget dinner and game night. Asylums, serial killers, women's suffrage...it has everything! No romance 🙂

Storied Life of AJ Fikry: Give it to your grandma. She'll love it, but so will you!

Families are complicated. This collection of essays will bring up more than a few feelings for anyone who loves their dysfunctional family. So many things to talk about in therapy! So interesting to hear an unreliable narrator in a memoir, who owns that her memories may be flawed but they've shaped who she is. Descriptions of mental health issues were frank, which the world could use more of!
