Welcome to Litsy!

Amazing coming off age story spanning from childhood through adulthood including the trials of living in a place with free women‘s rights during a tumultuous time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This has been on my TBR for ages. I am so happy I finally read it. And I kind of wish, I‘d read it 20 years ago. It resonated even now and I think it‘s a brilliant description of the headspace you can be in when you‘re a teenager. But I think it would‘ve hit me even more, have I read it while actually being a teenager. Also the fact that this is on lists of banned books makes me unbelieveably angry.

Re-read this for #WithTheBanned and remembered why I loved it so much. Honest, hopeful, and yes it deals with serious stuff in a sincere, thoughtful way. Now I think I need to go re-watch the movie 💗

5 ⭐. I had no idea this book was so good.

A quick , fun read. What I LOVED was that Dan included pictures of the actual trip at the end of the book. His 13 year old self seemed like a such a sweet kid 💕

Loss. So much loss in this book. But also resilience. And ultimately, hope. A worthwhile read, but you have to be in the right mood.

This was my first time reading Perks. I watched the movie many years ago and pretty much just remembered the scene pictured above.

Difficult topics dealt with respectively and with hope.
