    This was a devastating read, largely because of how real Lucy felt as a narrator and how tangible Susannah felt as a love interest. Reading the inner thoughts of a queer teenager struggling with reconciling her feelings and her religious guilt hit a lot closer to home than I had expected. It was also a beautiful portrayal of the ways in which love can blossom despite hostile terrain.

    I’m sure I could go on about this book for a while, but just… ouch.

    Why are they talking about lead-free deodorant in the year of our lord 2025? Does she mean aluminum? Does Meghan Quinn believe that you have to be careful about your brand of deodorant to avoid LEAD?

  • Phrases/words you can’t stand?

    Vent post about something relatively inconsequential!

    I am reading Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert right now and Bob the Drag Queen has used the phrase “if I’m being honest” at least 3 times in the first hour of listening. I am starting to despise this phrase, mainly because it seems to add nothing to 90% of the sentences it’s used in. There are a couple other authors I’ve read who use it a lot and I’m getting annoyed just thinking about it!

    What turns of phrase or words make you cringe when you read them?
