Moving through Tara’s semesters are a struggle and so are the breaks in between.

Tara has attended university; I recognize her struggle to be so behind and realize it, yet the key to her success was reading the textbooks in her courses of her first semester in college. This and an awakening of respect for history reminds me of my own learning in college. I admire Tara’s patience to have to go back to work for her father at the end of the semester.

Sad still, scary at times, but ever entertaining and filled with lessons of a growing girl’s mind.

I have restarted this book about where the mother is recovering from the first car accident. I am now at a part about Tara’s brother, Shawn. I decided to try to finish this book when I heard of a journal YouTuber I follow mention she read this in May (last month). She mentioned it was a good book but very sad. I figured there were lessons I could learn from this sad book.

I began reading this online in February and am not entirely sure which page I’m on, but it is very interesting! I will come back to finish this super soon! (My hold on Circe was made available, so I’m going to try to finish that one first!)
