"Basically the fines essay I've ever read. It's technically two essays but it feels like one. Baldwin refused to hold anyone's hand. He was both direct and beautiful all at once. He did not seem to write to convince you. He wrote beyond you."

It was a very odd plot twist but it worked. I loved how Becca was offered to open for the main artist but refused to do it without her group. I loved how every single one of the Bellas told Becca to follow her dream.

"A book that deeply informs my journalist sense. Writers-particularly American writers-constantly feel the pull of soulutionism, the desire to assure their readers that there is a way out, even when there isn't. Judt refused this. History, he understood, does not exist to comfort us."
