We love fat rep!! And it’s so well done in this book. The descriptions of Leah’s body are beautiful, which is so rare for a fat character. The story was a little slow at parts, but i thought the writing was good. While I hated the lack of quotation marks, I enjoyed the perspective the book is written in. 

A cute marriage of convenience/second chance romance. Some of the characters’ bickering dialogue annoyed me, but overall I really enjoyed this 

This book packs a lot in to be short. I loved this book. The writing style is beautiful and the story so raw. 

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. The Catholic school experience was spot on. The strict religious family, also spot on. The MC’s experiences of being Latinx in a predominantly white environment made me think. And I just loved the MC

It’s hard for me to get into novellas! 

This book includes stories from so many people: disabled folks living at intersections of other marginalized identities, different disabilities and levels of mobility, and from a wide range of backgrounds. I especially enjoyed the essay on asexuality and disability! Each of these perspectives taught me something new and I learned so much from these stories. 

Out of the three in this series, this may have been my favorite! I really enjoyed the plot lines and thought the characters were well developed. It was a tad long for me, I was really losing focus at the end - but still had a lot of fun reading this! 

Will definitely be re-reading and purchasing this. I learned so much. Beautifully written. The way Coates tells stories and shares his experiences to show how racism and injustices are across the world is so amazing. 

Very educational about living as an undocumented citizen in America. I learned so much from this. The rawness of the stories is amazing. Author describes this as “creative nonfiction “ and I love that.
