pickA novel reflecting on teenage years of two adults who grew up in NYC. Sometimes funny and other times sad, the kids while attending a Quaker School are trying to decide who they are sexually. The imagination runs a bit wild. No matter where you identify yourself sexually, or where you grew up, this novel had me recalling my memories during my teenage years. I gave this a solid 4.5/5⭐️
Great month. Four wonderful books.

pickThis book broke my heart—trauma, love, and multiple perspectives are woven into a deeply moving story. Its content has stayed with me for many years. I remember reading as a teenager and now, returning to its quotes, it feels even more profound. I've grown and the book is still a part of me. A masterpiece.

pickThis is one of those books where you really feel you know the main character. Everything she says and every decision she makes rings true as the story alternates between her life in California with her teenage daughter and how her life led up to this point. I was rooting for her every chapter throughout the whole book. Terrific writing style, highly recommend.

I never even heard of what happened in Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001. Some of my friends on Litsy had read it and recommended it. I'm so glad they did. It's an uplifting story. It shows that there are still people in this world who will go out of their way to help people and be nice. I remember how America came together on September 11, and I wonder what has happened to us. We are such a divided country now. ⬇️
