Woman At Point Zero by Nawal El-Saadawi - Spoiler Free Review

Hi there! I finished this amazing, but heart-wrenching, book last night and I'm a writing a review for it! Enjoy. 😌

 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

 Synopsis: From her prison cell, Firdaus, sentenced to die for having killed a pimp in a Cairo street, tells of her life from village childhood to city prostitute. Society's retribution for her act of defiance - death - she welcomes as the only way she can finally be free.
Personal review: I really enjoyed this. This book felt so real, I'm actually wondering if it's a true story or not. It was a really short read, but it still took me a couple of days to finish. The whole time you read this book, you already know what the faith of Firdaus is, so it's pretty heartbreaking. It's hard to read most of the time. I'm going to tell you guys that there are close to none happy moments. Do not read this thinking it will be a sweet contemporary for summer time! IT'S NOT. It portrayed what a lot of woman has to go through, and Nawal wrote it perfectly. It's really sad to see the reality of life, but it helped me have an even more opened mind for these kind of situations. 

 This is the kind of book they should make people read in high school, even if it's a dark subject. This book needs to be more out there!

 What I liked the most about the book: It's realistic. A lot. 

 This was a short review, but there's really nothing I can tell you without spoiling, other than it's beautifully heartbreaking. I hope you enjoyed reading, and that you'll want to check out this book for yourself!

 ❣ Noémie ❣

Leah On The Offbeat by Becky Albertalli - Spoiler Free Review

HIIIIIIIIII!!! Okay. I need to talk about this book. I just loved it so much and now Becky Albertalli is one of my favourite authors! Let's talk about Leah On The Offbeat! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Synopsis:  Leah Burke—girl-band drummer, master of deadpan, and Simon Spier’s best friend —takes center stage in this novel of first love and senior-year angst.  When it comes to drumming, Leah Burke is usually on beat—but real life isn’t always so rhythmic. An anomaly in her friend group, she’s the only child of a young, single mom, and her life is decidedly less privileged. She loves to draw but is too self-conscious to show it. And even though her mom knows she’s bisexual, she hasn’t mustered the courage to tell her friends—not even her openly gay BFF, Simon.  So Leah really doesn’t know what to do when her rock-solid friend group starts to fracture in unexpected ways. With prom and college on the horizon, tensions are running high. It’s hard for Leah to strike the right note whil...
