#lovehateandotherfilters #lfof #LITSYBUDDYREAD

Jennifer3 I am working to catch up today! @Jess7 thank you for allowing me to be part of this group this year! It has enriched my reading life!!! 5y
RaimeyGallant I think the title is brilliant, and I don't think I mentioned that in the first discussion. (edited) 5y
RaimeyGallant I read this some time ago, but from what I remember, I was a little disappointed in the guy saves girl aspect of the ending. This said, I liked that the last chapter was a realistic resolution to the romance. 5y

Currey @RaimeyGallant I agree with you about the title. Maya is such a typical American young woman, really more consumed with peer pressure, crushes and exercising adult freedoms slightly before she is ready for them. The title somehow captures the political time and time of life 5y
mrp27 I'm really torn about this one. I liked it enough but it just didn't hit the mark for me. I liked Maya and was annoyed by her at the same time. Second half of the book was definitely less fluffy from the first half. 5y
theokiereader I remember someone saying last time that they were disappointed in the book because they wanted to have more insight into what it‘s like to be a Muslim in America. However, I think that was the entire point of the book— Maya didn‘t want to be a Muslim in America, she wanted to be an American teenager. Everyone around her wanted to label her as something, whether it be a terrorist, a “good Muslim girl,” or a daughter in need of protecting because.. 5y
theokiereader ...of her heritage. Maya just wanted to be a normal teenager with a boyfriend (and a boyfriend she liked for reasons other than the fact that he was an “acceptable” match). In a world where everyone was labeling her as a Muslim, she just wanted to be Maya. 5y
CoffeeNBooks @mrp27 I agree! That's exactly how I feel about it. I feel like it's more of a surface story, even for YA. I was thinking about what my students would say about it if they read it, and I think they would enjoy it, but would want to know more. 5y
mrp27 @CoffeeNBooks Glad it's just not me! 5y

“In this unforgettable debut novel, an Indian-American Muslim teen copes with Islamophobia, cultural divides among peers and parents, and a reality she can neither explain nor escape.. Books can teach you a lot about people, places and cultures; #LoveHateandOtherFilters is one of those books. It is relatable to anyone that has ever felt as if they don‘t fit in or anyone who wants to learn to stop the hate..” #TBR #ReadingResolutions #YoungAdult

kezzlou85 This was a really good read. 6y

Tangerine: A Novel | Christine Mangan
post image

My April #tbr list! So many people on litsy have been anticipating Tangerine, so I thought I'd give it a go. I have an ARC of #Noir and #AshPrincess, and #lovehateandotherfilters sounds adorable. I picked it up from the library. Now, I just have to finish my last March read...

Christine11 I really liked Tangerine - hope you do too! 😊 6y
TheBookgeekFrau Can‘t wait for Noir! 6y
jwashreads @Christine11 I hope so too! @C.Perone I love his books; I recommend A Dirty Job to everyone! 6y

lyradora What's Ash Princess? 6y
jwashreads @lyradora New YA Fantasy! Someone overthrows the kingdom, but leaves the princess for everyone to ridicule and beat her and they nickname her the Ash Princess. It sounds interesting enough. 6y
lyradora @jwashreads well, I am kind of a cinderella mood right now. 😊 6y

My picks for Day 14: #CoverLover 😍 #ReadingResolutions:

#LoveHateandOtherFilters is a debut novel about “an Indian-American Muslim teen copes with Islamophobia, cultural divides among peers and parents, and a reality she can neither explain nor escape.”

#WomanLastSeeninHer30s is “a hilarious and hopeful story about a woman on the verge of a nervous breakthrough.”

#IamIamIam is “an extraordinary memoir—told entirely in near-death experiences.”

tournevis Noted.👍 6y
Cinfhen I‘ll see what I can find 🤩🤩🤩 6y
Jess7 Great!! @Cinfhen 6y
tonyahoswalt In regards to #IamIamIam I read her book The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox when I first started working at the library, around the time it came out I think. I fell in love with that book and it has stayed with me. 6y
