But also, in that review video, I talk about why I think this book is beautiful, albeit heart-wrenching. I think Jaouad did an amazing job writing it. Her story is incredible.
My Favorite Books of 2021 (so far)!
Putting the subject matter aside, this book reads like a dream. I mean, it's well-researched, everything flows perfectly. Patrick Radden Keefe is just a master at his craft.
This book is just so well written. It's funny, it's clever, it's touching.
If you are like me and you love H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald, which is probably my favorite non-fiction book of all time, then you have to read this book.
This book is highly sexual, so I can't imagine that it will be everyone's cup of tea, but I thought it was amazing. So thought-provoking and really just superbly done.
Just the way that Mary Jane transforms over this summer, it felt so realistic. It felt so true to life because it's not a dramatic transformation. You can just tell that her eyes have been opened.
Even considering what she speaks about in this book, it is absolutely gorgeous and you can definitely tell that it was authored by a poet, just with the language. I would say more about it, but I'm actually going to be hosting a review of this book here very shortly. So, I will stop myself and just say that I loved it.
But let's just say that I've read this book twice now, and it's hit me hard in the best possible way both times. I can't recommend it enough.
This book is powerful, it's moving, it's gorgeous, it's inspiring. I absolutely loved it. I can't stop thinking about it.
It's a very powerfully written book and reveals some really hard truths about the impact that we as humans are having on this planet. I mean, it's heartbreaking at times, I won't lie to you, but it's certainly very important reading and it's very well done.
I thought this book was hilarious, but then also thought-provoking. So it's challenging, but it's also light. It's one of the most entertaining nonfiction books that I have ever read in my life, and I've read quite a few if you can believe that.
