#perfect read

I read this book today and I have never ever cried this much while reading a book. I'm absolutely exhausted and deeply touched. This is a beautiful book in letter form between two sisters. The older one is in a hospital because of an eating disorder.

My next book recommendation is Maybe He Just Likes You.

(Summary): Maybe He Just Likes You chronicles one girl's terrifying experience of being the object of unwanted attention by the boys in her class. They design a game in which they gain points for touching Mila's body—without her permission—and for embarrassing her or causing her to respond to their unwanted attention.

My first book recommendation is The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin. (Summary): After her best friend dies in a drowning accident, Suzy is convinced that the true cause of the tragedy must have been a rare jellyfish sting–things don't just happen for no reason. Retreating into a silent world of imagination, she crafts a plan to prove her theory–even if it means traveling the globe, alone.

it’s de rerum natura, babeyyy ✨

(Apologies if Sideswipe is terribly ooc... I did a little TFWiki reading on him to try and get a better idea but didn't find much.)

Sideswipe was built for war, prepped for battle, ready and itching to fight for the sake of the Autobot cause... or at least to take out some cons for his own sake if nothing more... but something about this little fleshling femme caught him off guard and had him curious... she seemed to like his alt mode, that was for sure. When he was in vehicle form, she was constantly running those little hands over him. If he didn't know better, he'd think she was coming onto him.

She had climbed into his drivers seat, now, and he was finding that he didn't as much itch to kill cons, but rather, he wanted to keep her safe... she was pretty for their race and seemed to really like him, to the point she was now fondling over his interior, and he was having a hard time controlling himself... well... maybe just a little indicator of his appreciation...

He gave his engines a little rev and rumbled beneath her... this drew a soft "Oh... like that, do you?" from the girl. And then she was petting his dash with intent. She WAS coming on to him.

He revved again, louder, and his plating sort of bristled, weapons at the ready. Alright... if this girl liked him that much, and she wasn't with Sam any longer, he was off with that British femme... he'd just claim her for himself. He rumbled possessively and gave a soft little purr to follow.

"Those hands keep movin'  like that, I'm going to think you're aimin' for something a little more... interactive than a car ride to your favorite store..."

"Maybe I'm aiming for that little something more... a better ride than just around  the block? Better than what Sam could give me... what's harder than steel when it comes to something ridable, anyway." She grinned wickedly and gripped at his stick-shift, stroking over it suggestively.

He revved hard and carefully transformed himself around her, gently setting her on the ground before him, then crouching low. He vented hard as he gazed upon her, balanced on his wheels and chuckling.

"You got some guts there, 'Kaela... bold claims and desires... you sure you want this? Cause... once I got you, I can be a little... overprotective."

"At least I'll be wanted AND safe,  then."
