got me to like biographical books and i began to think about the idea that how everyone has a story to tell no matter what. usually we hide things/topics/relationships that hold the most significance or key value for us

Push

I liked how her writing improved as I read the book. My heart absolutely broke for her when she discusses she's HIV positive. Also, her yearning for love and being completely confused by what it is.

I wish I read the book before watching the show! I think I would have enjoyed the book more of I didn't have the show as a frame of reference, but I still really enjoyed this read. #WPFreedomtoRead
