#11 of 12 in The Beginning After The End

Book 11 keeps the series moving by widening the lens beyond Arthur, and most of the new perspectives earned their page time. The shift gave the world more weight and let side characters feel like people instead of scenery. Cecilia was the exception for me. Her arc never settled into a clear shape, and I came out of her chapters less sure of what she wanted than when I went in.

Can't Hurt Me

David Goggins

American Like Me

America Ferrera

There's nothing like feeling represented. A number of the stories resonated with me. Diving in to the experiences of multiple people felt much like reading Chicken of the Soup. The adversity many felt at a young age led them to become who they are today. It's hard to manifest negative energy into a positive outcome, yet each and every one of these people has done just that.

Brian Christian & Tom Griffiths

I listened to this as an audiobook which led to listening to a lot of cyclical chatter. In general, I appreciated how it took a different lens to everyday occurrences.
