What We Saw: Book Review

Hello everyone, i just finished reading this book and i wanted to review it. I will from now on put the summary of the book so that people can sort of get the concept of what this book is and then afterwards i'll share my thoughts about the book without revealing anything.

Summary: The party at John Doone's last saturday night is a bit of a blur. Kate Weston can piece together most of the details: Stacey Stallard handing her shots, Ben Cody taking her keys and getting her home early... But when a picture of Stacey passed out over Deacon Mill's shoulder appears online the next morning, Kate suspects she doesn't have all the details. When Stacey levels charges against four of Kate's classmates, the whole town erupts in controversy. Facts that can't be ignored begin to surface, and every answer Kate finds leads her back to the same questions: Who witnessed what happened to Stacey? And what responsibility do they have to speak up about what they saw?

My Review: I personally really liked this book, i think this book takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions with Kate and the decisions she makes throughout the book. I would recommend this book to a lot of people because i think it would be great to give out more awareness over this whole topic, especially with younger adults, which is exactly the targeted demographic for this book since it is YA. If i read this book sooner i would've made different decisions than what i've done now, because reading this book made me reflect on the decisions i've made and although i'm just proud of myself overall for speaking up i could've done it at a much earlier time. So to read this book and sort of relive certain experiences it really made me appreciate exactly where i am in my life. I've gotten help for myself and the worst has already passed. This book could potentially give others the chance to experience something they never really thought of, so i would really recommend this to anyone, it's an easy read and it definitely is entertaining.

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: WHAT IS ONE CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGH THIS QUARANTINE?

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new project in this time that I believe would help the most to reach others with. I want to make my own journal prompts for people to view and to hopefully write to. I would love to see any responses if anyone feels comfortable to share, there is no pressure at all, just love. I've always had a comfort in writing and the connectedness I feel when I write something not only for others to view by for myself to reflect on. I hope that throughout these weekly journal prompts it will ease a bit of the quarantine tension and unite us through writing. With each journal prompt I make I will be responding to my own prompt to give others a view of what I personally think at the time. My Response: The one consistent practice that I've been trying to do is at least write once a day. Whether that be in my planner or if I just write out a whole letter to someone to give later on. I want to be able to keep my spirits high by at least writin...

Coping With Isolation

I hope everyone's doing well with all that is going on. I'm sure one day we will all be able to engage in the lives we once had before any of this happened. But for now all that we can do is keep ourselves afloat and balanced. How do you cope with isolation? How are these times treating you? Are you doing stuff you love? Stuff you wished you had more time for and now that you do are you trying to take advantage of it? One of my loves has always been writing because it's my form of expression, I think sometimes written words convey a lot more of my emotions than when I say them out loud. And throughout this time I've been at least trying to incorporate writing, and I've started to write letters to my friends. My friend reached out to me recently and asked if I wanted her to write me a letter, and honestly words can't describe just how giddy I felt in that moment. Of course I would agree to it, why haven't I done this sooner? Why are we not connecting like ...

What I Would Tell My Younger Self

Hello everyone, i've always been fascinated with the idea of what i would possibly tell my younger self if i had the choice to do so. I've realized that there's a lot i would want to say for obvious reasons like the fact that i was sexually abused and kept it in for so long, i would've liked to express that at an earlier time if i could've because keeping something like this from anybody was really damaging for me and i can't really do anything about it now but bring more awareness to it and work on myself as an individual. There's other lessons i'd like to teach to my younger self like having your first heartbreak will suck and it'll take a lot of energy out of you and make you feel like you were the reason as to why it all happened, but you should never doubt yourself as a person, in the relationship i grew and he didn't want to grow with me so there's nothing that i did wrong. Even though we had arguments here and there, i did the bes...
