lil1inblue Full disclosure - I bailed on this one at 35% because it triggered me. Hard. However, had I read this book in high school, it would have helped me unlock so much. It would have been so valuable when I was still in the trauma. Just knowing I wasn't alone in my feelings would have done wonders. 5d

Hey #WithTheBanned readers!! Discussion posts for our August book are coming. Like always, I‘ll tag everyone in the first post. There are 5 questions in total.

Also, in the next few weeks, I‘ll put up a post for suggestions for 2026 reads. Start thinking about books you‘d like to see on the schedule next year.

“You must walk alone to find your soul.” Where was this book when was younger. Picked it up earlier this evening and almost finished with it. Easy but meaningful read.

My trauma was different, as were some details, but this book is my junior year of high school. I made it to this scene, which triggered a very vivid memory of me and my mom. Then, I found myself crying intermittently until I went to bed.

The writing is so authentic. I wish I could finish, but I can't revisit that time in my life right now. Bailed at 35%.

All that said, had I read this book back then, it would have helped me unlock so much.

TheBookHippie It‘s good for the unlocking. I could never read it again after the first time and even then… it was really horrific for me. It‘s helped many girls I‘ve mentored. 2w
