Disliked

I was really underwhelmed. Not just because- the story itself was very powerful, but it was also confusing because she was remembering things from an age where like, a five-year-old doesn't understand everything that's happening around them and I think that translated into confusing me, the reader

Loved

I think that was actually Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. I was recently talking, like Facetiming with my family. We were talking about the Black Lives Matter movement and everything that was happening with that and I recommended this book to my mom to read because she hasn't read a lot of nonfiction books in that category.

Disliked

I was really underwhelmed by that book. Everything that I heard up to the point where I picked it up was so positive, people talking about how much they absolutely loved that book, rereading it, etc. and I was just very underwhelmed.

Mixed

I gave it three stars. There was parts of it that I liked, but a lot of it- it just was, it was too long and I think that there were parts where the pacing was just really off and I did like the ending more than I thought I was going to because about 75% of the way through the book I was really feeling 'meh' about it.

Loved

This book helps kind of erase that idea from your mind and I learned a ton of interesting stuff in this. It wouldn't have been a book that I would have thought could have been my favorite book so far this year, but it certainly... yeah it's still up there.
