This is such an adorable series. They are quick reads and I really love Oseman's drawing style. This volume we get to know the side characters more which was nice. I love the diversity and LGBTQIA+ rep in the cast of characters. There is a big focus on romantic love and while I really love these adorable scenes I think it would be really beautiful to see others types of love/aspects of their lives too.

This continues the story of Kiran, an undocumented immigrant living in Canada, and her daughter, Sahaara. The story focuses on the struggles of being undocumented, the cause of that for Kiran, and the smaller fractures and struggles caused by it.

It is a story of bravery and empowerment; selfworth and acceptance.

It‘s an ever changing and developing mother/daughter relationship. One of the most powerful books that I‘ve read this year.

4.5⭐ This really touched on some heavy subject matter (although as a whole I didn't find the book itself to be heavy). At its core it's Anna's story of self discovery as she embarks on a sailing adventure, taking the trip her fiance had planned for them prior to his suicide. I really loved seeing Anna come into her own, and all of the beautiful places she visited. Beautifully done.

Getting geared up for the Dewey's Reverse readathon. I won't get through all of these, but looking forward to digging in! I think I'll start with People We Meet on Vacation. Not pictured is Heartstopper Volume 3.

"This world makes us feel like our stories begin and end with men—the ones who want us or don‘t want us or hurt us or love us. But if I‘ve learned anything, it‘s that happiness doesn‘t need to hinge on the boy you end up with.” She touches my cheek. “You can choose yourself, too.”
