    No Way Out by Kate Elysia.

    Why people keep lending me non-fiction where women are raped is beyond me, but I am so, so angry on behalf of the author.

    Curious if anyone else has read?

    I haven’t, but I would be interested in reading them.

    Are they worth reading? :slight_smile:

    Yes, definitely worth reading. There is quite a bit of insight into what it was like to have an “oddity”, as Anne puts it, at that time. What keeps me reading is her relentless approach in being exactly who she was, unapologetically herself. Her outlook on everything is so truthful, much to learn from her honest life.
    *She has just met Ann Walker...looking forward to seeing how accurate Gentleman Jack is! LOL*

    (disclaimer! these books are definitely more like YA novels, im reading all these other responses and they all sound so scholarly! theyre just stories about two kids finding their way)
    earlier today i finished ‘They Both Die at the End’ which was about these two teenagers that had less than 24 hours to live and they meet because of this app called Last Friend. they spend this entire day learning about eachother and coming out of their shells, and going through these trials and tribulations only to realize they fell for eachother in the process. it was a really beautiful story, but obviously a very very heartbreaking ending. definitely 10/10
    next im reading a book called the infinite noise, which is about a boy that can feel other peoples emotions, when he meets another boy whose feelings and emotions consume his focus. im really excited, wish me luck!

    Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. Pretty fun doing more learning on historical figures, even if it's not a part of your history :grin:
