Historia
When Lauren Kessler was 12, her ballet instructor crushed not just her dreams of being a ballerina but also her youthful self-assurance. Now, many decades and three children later, Kessler embarks on a journey to join a professional company to perform in The Nutcracker. Raising the Barre is more than just one woman's story; it is a story about shaking things up, taking risks, and ignoring good sense and forgetting how old you are and how you're "supposed" to act.

Become a ballerina through the author
Revisado: 12-02-22
I enjoyed this immersive journey of dance, having restarted dance in adulthood myself. The story was comprehensive, informative, and full of new insights to the world of ballet. My only qualm is that the author interrupts herself a lot, which can be distracting. Overall, a good read though.

Historia
Growing up the daughter of notorious treasure hunter and absentee father Duke Wilder left Lily without much patience for the profession…or much money in the bank. But Lily is resourceful, and now uses Duke’s coveted hand-drawn maps to guide tourists on fake treasure hunts through the red rock canyons of Utah. It pays the bills but doesn’t leave enough to fulfill her dream of buying back the beloved ranch her father sold years ago, and definitely not enough to deal with the sight of the man she once loved walking back into her life with a motley crew of friends ready to hit the trails.

The Adventure of a Lifetime
Revisado: 08-19-22
This book was surprising in the best of ways! I knew I was in for a lot of entertaining scenes, but the amount of plot twists was unreal. I wish I could read this book again for the first time but I’d be just as happy with a movie version.

Beautiful Sequel
Revisado: 07-11-22
This follow up story for Aristotle and Dante absolutely hit it out of the park! I loved how the book discussed the AIDS crisis and all of the views that affected queer youth back then. The story focused on love above all else, whether it be familial, romantic, or self - I needed that. This book did not disappoint and if you love the first one, please read this❤️

Historia
Single mom Jess Davis is a data and statistics wizard, but no amount of number crunching can convince her to step back into the dating world. After all, her father was never around, her hard-partying mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he wasn’t “father material” before her daughter was even born. Jess holds her loved ones close but working constantly to stay afloat is hard...and lonely. But then Jess hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that’s predicted to change dating forever.

Fun, Sexy, and Full of Math
Revisado: 12-03-21
This book really surprised me. I wasn’t too sure that I would buy into the story line of soulmates being found by genetic algorithms, but this story was riveting. I enjoyed the intellectual material just as much as the emotional. The characters are written so honestly that I felt like I could go down to San Diego and find them myself. A must read for anyone interested in falling in love at unlikely points in their life.

New Favorite Book
Revisado: 10-26-21
I loved this book equally as much as, if not more than, the first book “The Trouble With Hating You.” The author’s details and playful metaphors are as captivating as the story. Sajni Patel writes strong female characters, who are vulnerable and deeply relatable. The women in her books make me feel okay to be me, and that’s her magic. Performance by Soneela Nankani was a 10/10 for this book. Will definitely be listening to more soon.

Surprisingly Beautiful
Revisado: 01-28-21
Funny, emotional, and riveting. Rob Lowe has explained so many parts of his life I never would have believed if someone else told me. This book offers the kind of perspective I needed in 2021, 10 years after he wrote it. Great book.

Beautifully Told

I loved the reading of this book. The characters were beautifully portrayed, even when sped up to nearly double the normal pace. Perspectives switched every once in a while but never in a distracting way.

Historia
In her hit Netflix comedy special Baby Cobra, an eight-month pregnant Ali Wong resonated so strongly that she even became a popular Halloween costume. Wong told the world her remarkably unfiltered thoughts on marriage, sex, Asian culture, working women, and why you never see new mom comics on stage but you sure see plenty of new dads.

Insightful and Divisive
Revisado: 01-07-20
I thought Ali and her husband did a beautiful job of being honest about how complicated life is. You never know how your plans will change or what you’re going to learn, but listening to their stories gave me a sense of peace that everything happens for a reason. This book was a great listen and helped me shift my world view on many topics.
