Renee’s comments from the FHS Reads group.

I just read Love, Hate & Other Filters! It is a favorite for sure. I loved the voice and the use of filmmaking to create a different perspective. The fact that it brings an Indian, Muslim, female voice to the YA cannon is perhaps the main reason I loved this book. I highly reccomend!

I am currently reading A Madness So Discreet, our book club selection. I find this to be very well written compared to the other 2 books we have read.

YES!!! Sometimes I am not that into the story because of style of writing. I findAmericanah to be one of those books. I am not sure I would have enjoyed it as much if it wasn't so masterfully written!

I want to read Life after Juliet! I need to get it for the Library...you’ll have to tell me what you think of it.

I just finished All American Boys and liked it. I feel like it puts race relations in a modern light. I would pair it with The Hate You Give. Both have a very current look at social injustice, systematic inequalities, and racism. I have now read 3 books in a row about theses topics and every time I have simultaneously realized how far we have come and how much work still needs to be done!

Now my next read!
