It's been a while Ashina, good to see you back with your signature frenetic bookposting style!
I'm happy that the book bloomerpilled you! Frankly, I think it would be hard to read this one and not feel the same way
book talk
I think it's not surprising that you like Sara so much. She's our point of view and the story is just as much about her as it is Alex. I mean, the story is called US not ALEX! It was really sweet watching them grow together, and Sara really does remind me a lot of my wife. I feel like it gave me a lot to look forward to as I grow as well.
I think it's too bad that so much of this lit is a suffer fest because I don't think that's healthy to wallow in early on.
Currently, I'm reading "Until I Love Myself" by Poppy Pesuyama. It's about an AFAB NB person as they come to terms with their gender identity. Despite the cute art, it is, in fact, a bit of a suffer fest and deals with things like mental health, self loathing, and SA.
I'll always be signature and frenetic autism and adhd, together at last ✨
Yeah I was really pleased, not that I had low expectations but it was still pretty surprisingly rad.
boooooooktalk
See I thought I might hate that Us is told basically from the cis lady's perspective, I've hated the cis half in these things before, but Sara is rad and funny and "so punk..." I was instantly endeared to her, she's so good to our smol bean y'know? I love to see it
Okay I'm still putting that on my TBR though. I was just really exhausted and psychic damaged this... month, two months, book reading period. Usually grim and suffery is my bread and butter, I'm far from against trans lit being dark in that way, cause them's the breaks y'know?
