Gut-wrenching and Healing: The Cabin by Jasinda Wilder
21November
A gut-wrenching, tear-jerker of a romance novel that transforms itself into a book of healing and convincing second chance love–although, its enjoyability is severely limited by the frustrating characterization of its Heroine.

Vulnerable and Cathartic: Untamed by Glennon Doyle
14November
An unabashedly honest memoir, comprised of short essays, Glennon draws on her experiences with consciously uncoupling from her husband, parenting her children in a blended-family, marrying her wife, Abby and reconciling her God with religion as an institution, to unpack the varying ways our current societies cage us. The pacing takes a while to find its rhythm; however, the immersive and thought-provoking prose makes the memoir an exceptional and cathartic read.

Liberating and Thought-Provoking: How To Get Over A Boy by Chidera Eggerue
11November
This is so much more than a post-break-up self-help book–while it focuses on heterosexual relationships, the book is a great introduction to how the patriarchy and internalized misogyny significantly impact how women approach relationships (and deal with moving on).

An excellently written courtroom drama that pulls the reader in, demonstrating the malleability of the truth while unfalteringly exploring the typically unvoiced sacrifices and traumas of being a parent to a special needs child, the uncertainty of immigration and the isolation of adolescence.
