The fact that I have like 5 other books I’m currently reading and own, but choosing to read this one says…a lot. It says a lot. 😂 But I’m getting back into reading and that’s what matters.
Books where a MC goes to eating disorder treatment are typically a hit or miss. The characters seem well developed which I really love - I don’t despise any of them lol. And the treatment process is very realistic.

Was the MC written to be so annoying? I wonder if that was intentional, that would make sense.

Intriguing, and Emily is the most annoying person dear god. But I guess that makes her a realistic teenager?

Second sapphic romance I’ve read with dual point of views, one in first and the second in third, and I like it. I also appreciate that Emily connects to the label bisexual and defines it as any gender, considering that’s what it has always meant…

New goal: To release myself of the expectation to read a certain amount of pages or books in a specific amount of time. Getting back into reading has not been an easy journey for me. Why make it harder by comparing myself to others when my situation is different, anyway?

(Also, to stop reading ahead and spoiling what’s going on for no reason. 😆 But that’s a sign I like what I’m reading!!!)

The way I’m having to stop myself from reading more because I need to go to bed!!!

I've technically made a lot of progress on my shelves but I don't feel like it. It's like, when I look at other blog posts talking about how they organized their shelves, they said they only shelved genre AFTER reading it. Which makes sense for fiction! But how do you do that for nonfiction? I don't want to have a bunch of sub-nonfiction, but sometimes I just want to read a memoir, ya know?

It's time for a complete shelf overhaul...and for the sake of all of those follow me, I turned off the a feed setting so HOPEFULLY you're not being blown up with notifications now. I'll turn it back on once I'm done. Stay tuned!

So, I've been reading every day! Whether it's a reread, one of my current reads, or a story from Chicken Soup, I have been on it! And...I love it! I've genuinely missed reading so much and I intend to can keep it up.
At the moment, I'm rereading several middle grade novels to get a sense of what the style is like because I want to restart the first novel I started as a kid, Fourth Grade Disaster. Stay tuned!
