We Do What We Do in the Dark
pickA group of boys keeps a scorecard about who touches girls the most. Nobody believes her or really cares. She doesn't want to bother her mom with her issues, so she keeps her thoughts inside. She learns karate, and that becomes her outlet. Illuminates issues of problems in today's world that will probably never go away. The characters are convincing and credible. The story can help talk about things that are hard to talk about.
so-soRead this for my IRL book club & it‘s not bad, it just doesn‘t stand out from other books about a young college woman who starts an affair with her married writing professor only to see most everything get complicated really fast. It‘s a familiar story & while it addresses serious issues—power dynamics, consent, assault, integrity, jealousy—the execution is not as good as I hoped. Not a fav of mine unlike my friends who loved & recommended it.
so-soTitle update: My Last Innocent — and incredibly boring — year.
The best thing about this book is the cover.
pickI preordered this coming of age story because I liked the cover and it sounded interesting. I‘m glad I did because I really liked the story and the characters. I would‘ve finished sooner but I haven‘t been getting much reading time lately.

Up next is The Writing Retreat.
#ThingsInCommon The main character is a writer.
Both books released in February 2023.
3⭐️ This started well; I like to be inside campus story set in 1998, and I‘m just a year younger than the protagonist Isabel Rosen. So many tangents in this book but the base is her two sexual relationships with a fellow student and her prof. I wish the author just focused and dug deeper on one or two topics, because her effort to cover everything made the last quarter of the book messy and rushed.
I guess this is an advice for me 😃
Just started this book and the timeline is similar to mine. I was in my third year of uni in 1998 😎 #onceuponatime
