Review of "They Don't Represent Us" on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I listened as an audiobook. Overall, I’m a big fan. It gave new words to a lot of the thoughts I’ve had for a while now, and got me thinking about a few things in a less partisan way. I’m dubious of the possibility of implementing the change this book demonstrates as necessary, but it doesn’t skirt the issue of that difficulty, either.

Review of 'Maybe you should talk to someone : a therapist, her therapist, and our lives revealed' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I cried more times than I could count listening to this as an audiobook. Little details throughout resonsted and made my journey through life and through therapy make that much more sense.
I’d recommend this book to anyone who’s in therapy, considering therapy, or just wants to learn how to be a better version of themselves.

Review of 'Ep.#1 - "Aurora : CV-01"' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
The story takes place in an extremely compelling world, and follows a well-planned plotline. However, it felt like the author could have used a few more rounds of editing.
Nonetheless, I'm interested to see where the rest of the series goes
