Divergent meets How to Train Your Dragon. A bit more sexual content than I would have wanted, but the story was great.

A bit male-gazey for me but overall a good sci-fi. Weir’s weakest but that’s not saying too much cause I love his books!!! Is it possible to OVER research? If so, Weir does it

challenging dark emotional funny reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

This memoir was so powerful and thought-provoking. Jennette McCurdy captures her younger voice so well, communicating the child star’s perspective with humor and poignancy. Highly recommend, if only to think more about the media you consume and what may be going on behind the scenes.

I’m not hiking the PCT but I am living in Peru for 6 months— this was a good time to read this book. Away from friends and family, living a simpler life, doing hard things every day.
