How about book you loved, book you hated and book you’d always recommend.
For me I’d say
loved:
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings - Maya Angelou.
This is such an amazing and devastating book. More people should read it.
hated:
I started a Colleen Hoover. Just no.
recommend:
Asking For It - Louise O’Neill.
It’s a YA book about a girl who gets gang raped and I cried at the end. It’s so important because people miss the message - they go on about the protagonist being horrible so why should you care - that’s the point! Even if even if she was a bit arrogant and a flirt and took drugs, she still didn’t dear e to be gang raped. No one deserves to be raped and the protagonist being a bit of a nightmare was done to reinforce this. And people don’t like the ending but again, that’s how a lot of rape cases end. Emma’s behaviour is based on real life cases.I think it should be on the school syllabus but adults should read it too and discuss it to understand it,
