Lies we tell ourselves review
Lies we tell ourselves is a book of rights. Not just those of black individuals but also a hint of rights for those in the LGBTQ community. This takes a hard look at what integration in a school in the south looked like for 8 kids just trying to get what they should be entitled to. I say it's so so because I feel the relationship that was in this book is a bit forced and took away from the rest of the story which made me not super interested in finishing this book. I am glad that I did though.

Astonishing
Heart gripping and quite emotional. I was very excited to watch this as I have wanted to read the book a lot, unfortunately still haven’t been able to but I am so excited to as usually the case is that the books are better than the films (such as Call Me By Your Name).
It is also good how the film has handled the subject of everything included and hello... LGBTQ is within the film and that’s amazing!
Great to see Simon go through the whole journey and end up finding Blue even after everything he’s went through.
Also, may have been more into watching it because of the great cast within the film - like Nick Robinson (who plays Simon).
Would definitely recommend this film as it is amazing!
