panI am honestly surprised how high the rating on this one is. But then I scrolled through looking for any reviewer who was not white and could not find anyone. This book is racist. The Black characters are drawn as cartoonish and the N word is used with great abandon. The R slur is used throughout also which is always jarring.
I finished it, there was some charm in the areas she stuck to writing about the white characters, wish it was all that.
Audio book day as my eyes continue to adjust from Lasik. Getting the plants watered to feel productive.
This book has a grating racist undertone to it that I am not enjoying. I think it is going to be one of those few books that I enjoy the movie more.

Going to attempt to join! I am getting Lasik today so I might be doing most of my reading this weekend in audio.
If I am able to read a bit I want to finish Careless by Kristy Capes
Audio I am going to read the tagged and Far From the Madding Crowd.

I loved this!! We need more YA like it!
Although I couldn't relate to everything Yamilet experiences as a queer young woman of color, I can relate to being raised under the shadow of the Catholic church, attending Catholic school, and having a brother who struggles. Finding comfort in art class and the thrill and lightness of young love also reminded me of my high school experience.

Fulfills the single parent category for #SapphicBingo2023. Protagonist Molly is a single mother. Loved this novella.

Starting this today!
I'm traveling, so I'm trying to get through some of the ebooks I had previously purchased. I am not the best at keeping up with ebooks. I prefer to have a book in my hands!
pickA sweet story of an American student painter in Paris. The illustrations are lovely.
