'The right branch of the multiverse where you're still so close I can touch you,taste you,smell you."
And you should have known I didn't want anyone else you should have known that you were it for me,from the night we met. I would have done anything to fix it, but you wouldn't  fight for me you  said you would and I believed you, wyn. And I understand  Why you couldn't  but I haven't forgiven you for breaking my heart"

"I had decided, even before we’d had sex, that I had no intention of letting Corbin go back to being a scarecrow for another long year. The trick of it was that someone needed to remain a sentry in his place."

"no goddess of mine sits in the dirt."

Corbin was the man we all need now I need to know what it feels like to be fucked by a scarecrow

Hey, Kiddo: How I Lost My Mother, Found My Father, and Dealt with Family Addiction by Jarrett J. Krosoczka

This book broke my heart I'm so proud of Jarrett though for accomplishing his dreams and making his grandparents happy. I hate that I relate to his relationship with his mom my mom was a alcoholic and never was there for me.the authors note and the notes before broke me I hope the author is doing well now. This is for sure a author I just wanna hug and say "you are not alone I see you"

"If you dwell on the ghosts of the past, they'll haunt you" But the opposite  like the author said is true "if you ignore the ghost from your past, they'll haunt you" I live with this daily.

"She was a good person who made bad decisions" this broke me this is how I hope my mom would of been without addiction.
To the author I'm sorry for all your loses but me and the readers are here for you.

If anyone can please donate to the scholarship the author made in memory of his grandparents.  This is a book I recommend  everyone  reads. I'd rate this higher  if I could😭

If you are a drug addict don't have kids till you can choose them over the drugs.

4.5

This book shows how bad women truly have it how we are the target audience for things like rape abuse etc... Men are the soul predators (any man who's been assaulted  most likely had it happen by a man)
This book was kinda hard to get through due to the topics but it taught me alot, this book also shows how most school systems  are sexist we get told to read books by males only or men are the strong ones? Have you ever read a book by a women it's powerful. I loved the sailor moon and pokemon references and how it was said shows/toys shouldn't  have gender attached to them. Also the recs at the end I absolutely  loved..


Now for all the women who were told their bodies are gross/we shouldn't  call our "lower regions" what they are called.... say it with me loud and proud VULVA!!! #TEAMVULVA
