Agreed! 🎯 and I’m with you. I feel weird saying I enjoyed it?? The writing was great!! A ton of showing instead of telling. But holy crap, it was a tougher read than I expected it to be. I think the author nailed what she was going for tho!

Holy cow. I’m reeling from this one. Very conflicted on how uncomfortably real this was written. Plunged me right back into my naive, rabid, easily influenced teen years. And I BOILED at the adults.

Gonna be thinking about this for a while… πŸ’™πŸ“š

It’s official, real life is the worst.

I want to live in THIS world, where people are enough & can exist as they are, and humanity chose to do right by the planet and each other 😭

Kayla T (kaylabobayla)'s review of Queen of Faces (Queen of Faces, #1) 5/5: What if swapping bodies was as easy as switching clothes? Where changing gender or escaping wounds was the simple purchase of a body swap? And what if everyone did it all the time, everywhere? T...

Queen of Faces by Petra Lord
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 πŸ“šπŸ’™

I wish this existed when I was a teen! Some of the most incredible, respectable and accessible gender discussions I’ve seen in fantasy. Unique magic, poignant gov’t commentary, and forgot it was YA!

Hand holding book, someone you can build a nest in by John Wiswell

Brought β€˜Someone You Can Build a Nest In’ on a snow camping trip and it was perfect, a true cozy horror. I’m astounded that it was both heart felt and gruesome, poignant about the love and partnership everyone deserves - even monsters. I loved it! 5🌟
