This memoir is full of grief, but also with hope. Using an innovate structure, Nguyen tells the dual stories of how her experience of sexual assault led her into activism and the healing of her childhood trauma. #SavingFive #AmandaNguyen #Booksky #memoir

Fundamentally is a book that surprised me. At first, I had a hard time sitting alongside the narrator, Nadia, whose brash and often offensive humor seemed like a defense mechanism that the reader didn’t have insight to. As I got more used to her & her naivety, layers of character were revealed.

This book is holds you in its heartache and examines how folks move through/in/around grief. Grief of losing family members, of having few options, even the grief of surviving. #booksky

“True storytelling has always been one of the few great things humanity could produce that no automation could.” So much I loved about this novel, but at its core, the power of a story— stories written for an audience and the stories we tell ourselves— will stick with me. #booksky #nnediokorafor

Printz winner. Wonderful read about a mixed Guatemalan girl who reconnects with her father over a summer of renovation. Important discussion of gentrification and cultural solidarity.

Literary fiction friends, don’t miss out on Call Her Freedom by Tara Dorabji! It holds heartbreak alongside moments of hope and defiance, imbuing a depth & complexity to each character. Tenderness, in spite of personal and global grief, struck me as I read. Thank you @simonandschuster.bsky.social !
