I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy




I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

Genre: Adult Non-Fiction

Despite several heavy topics discussed throughout the book, I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy was surprisingly easy to digest. I would recommend this book to anyone - even if they've never watched anything with Jennette in it. Unlike most celebrity memoirs, her passion for writing is evident in her storytelling. 

A fair warning, there are themes of  parental death, addiction, eating disorders, and narcissistic parenting throughout the entire book.

She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott

She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott Genre: Young Adult Romance Your classic enemies to lovers trope that I will *never* get sick of. This dual-perspective novel follows Molly who has been crushing on the same girl for the last four years and Alex who has just had a rough breakup. Alex devises a plan to help Molly in hopes that she can prove that she's a good person to her ex so they can get back together. But once everything goes according to plan, they each start realizing that maybe this wasn't what they truly wanted...  I listened to this one as an audiobook and it gave me all the feel-goods I needed to get me through the week!

In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

In Five Years by Rebecca Serle Genre: Adult Fiction Where do you see yourself in five years?  A question I ask myself all the time. But what if you woke up five years in the future? After spending an entire hour 5 years in the future, main character Dannie Kohan wakes up again back in the present. She cannot shake what happened even though it was presumably just a dream. Dannie, being ever the realist, is determined to ignore the experience and move on with her life...until 4.5 years later she meets the man she was with in the long-ago vision.  This book was a whirlwind of emotion, friendship, and loss. The ending hit me right in the feels and I was a crying mess for the last 10 pages or so. The whole time I was reading it, I was trying to predict the ending but I was off by a lot. If you're looking for a quick read and an emotional rollercoaster - this one's for you!  - Emily
