This is the author of aisha at last which is a pride and purchase retelling that I thoroughly love like it one of my all-time favorite pride and prejudice retellings that's out there.

It blew me away because it like completely sucked me in. The structure of this book to have that countdown provides this increasing tension as you are moving forward.

I did find some of the things about the ending to be a little bit like disappointing because it felt too neat especially with the rest of the story and the fact that the rest of the story could be a little bit messy and a little bit morally gray but otherwise like this was a really intriguing book for me.

Loved it

It's a really like slow paced character-driven story but I found it to be like wonderful and heartbreaking and I really wanted to know what was going to happen to all of them.

This is one of those books where I haven't stopped thinking about it since I finished reading it. It's basically like a villain origin story.

This is a nonfiction book that is all about the chernobyl disaster. The thing about this book that really surprised me is just like how incredibly gripping it is for being a nonfiction book.

The amount of like character development and reveals that happen in such a short span of time I think really speaks a lot to jacqueline woodson's skills as a writer. I really enjoyed this book.

I found this book to just be really fun and really compelling. Again I don't think it's for everyone and I don't think that necessarily if you are a fan of silvio moreno garcia that you will necessarily like this one but I really love this one a whole lot.

This book tackles intersectionality in a really great way. I think that this is a really great book if you are someone who has been interested in learning more about feminism and racism.
