To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han
3.75
good! i'm glad i re read for nostalgia. i don't think i liked it as much as my younger self did, but it was definitely not the worst thing i've ever read by a lot!
Five Feet Apart by Rachael Lippincott
3.0
re reading this was a mistake, i should have never done it because younger me loved this so book so much and now i've ruined that vague memory of love i had for this book. it was average, very average. maybe slightly above average? (just because my younger self loved it so much).
Circe by Madeline Miller
3.5
this was beautifully written and i really liked it. i read it for school as a choice book of literary merit, so i think that if i had read it just for pleasure i would have rated it higher. i had to read it all in a day because i procrastinated, so i didn't get to enjoy the beautiful writing as much.
The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
4.0
i love this book so much, it brought to me the term "puzzing" (the verb for when you're doing a puzzle). it was suchhhh a cute story and if you liked red white and royal blue you'll like it! (but if you didn't like red, white, and royal blue i think you'd like it still!).
The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black
3.0
by far the worst installment of the cruel prince trilogy when it could have easily been the best. the way that this one was set up had me thinking i was going to love it, but the pacing felt off and it ended up being pretty boring and average.
Night by Elie Wiesel
4.0
a must read to understand the horrifying things that people went through in the Holocaust, it's especially important to read about something like this from someone who lived through it. it should be taught in more schools during the time when kids learn about world war 2 (high school age though, this is not for young readers).
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
4.0
i devoured this novel very quickly and it was very well written. i do believe that there are better sapphic novels to be promoting on social media as hardcore as this was, but it is a well written book!
Wash Day Diaries by Jamila Rowser
4.0
I absolutely adored this book! It was amazing! The illustrations were amazing and I loved how within the color scheme for the whole graphic novel, it felt like each of the 4 main characters had their own individual color scheme. Not only the group story, but also the individual story for each of the characters was so well thought out and cohesive, it made the whole reading experience so much better! I read this in one sitting and I literally could not put it down! Amazing, 10/10 recommend!
