pickOne of the best books I‘ve read this year. The Netherlands, WW2, the persecution of Jews in Europe, all the collaborators. And a great conclusion.

pickUgh, I had such a hard time rating this book. I knew right where this story was going the whole time (possibly the author‘s intent?). I found the characters rather annoying (though unlikeable characters don‘t ruin a book for me). It felt a little like an old Criminal Minds episode with more background and more sex (which I guess is neither good nor bad for me). Ended up giving it a pick I could not put it down! And omg—that cover is so gorgeous…
so-soI have mixed feelings on this book (mostly, I had a hard time figuring out what character was which) I did find the thought of anyone having a high level of testosterone in this world, would cause you to also turn into a killing machine. Horrifying, as someone with PCOS. The story of just trying to survive the world while trying to navigate forces and a virus that‘s threatening you. Pretty intense. Good for a one read.

“Here's the truth no one ever wants to admit when death is on the horizon, or when you're deep in that grief—as long as you keep existing, you'll keep breathing, and if you're breathing, one day you'll start living again.”
Went to see the amazing Yael van der Wouden this evening.
She is a huge Miranda July fan for all you All Fours enthusiasts!
The pictures of me are all terribly unflattering, but here we are 😄

so-soMmmm I thought this was YA, since the MC is 16, but…maybe like older YA?? It was alright. The story felt a little half-baked, and it was a lot of sitting around and waiting for things to happen. Also, how in this small town has no one noticed a BASEMENT full of goths going missing???
