“Salvation is certainly among the reasons I read. Reading and writing have always pulled me out of the darkest experiences in my life. Stories have given me a place in which to lose myself. They have allowed me to remember. They have allowed me to forget. They have allowed me to imagine different endings and better possible worlds.” – Roxane Gay

How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake (reread) – ♥♥♥♥♥
At the beginning of the month I read Caitlin Moran’s, How to Build a Girl, because the movie of the same name was coming out early in the month. While I liked the movie, the book was a little disappointing, but I decided to read the sequel, How to be Famous, because I already owned it and I loved it! I think reading about a girl who had some sense of self discovering her place in the world and what she wants to do next in life was really inspiring. I discovered my new favorite Emma Mills book, This Adventure Ends. After seeing tons of hype for The Last True Poets of the Sea, I finally read it and it was so wonderful. I highly recommend.

Break the Fall by Jennifer Iacapelli – ♥♥♥♥
Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn – ♥♥♥♥
These are mostly all ARCs so reviews are coming throughout the month, but I do want to say: Break the Fall and by Jennifer Iacapelli was an incredibly well-researched story that made me feel like I was at the Olympics and Firsts by Laurie Elizabeth Flynn was a feminist, sex-positive read that is quite underrated.

Awesome reading month! I loved How to Make a Wish so much but it was also really disturbing and upsetting I found.

Great reading month for you. I love how you break down the formats you read. I read A Good Neighborhood in May also and went 5 stars. It’s probably my favorite novel of the year so far. I read How to Build a Girl a couple years ago and loved it. I’ve been hesitant to read the sequel in case I don’t like it as much!
