# 1 - Read 30 books - Commencement by J. Courtney Sullivan (Book 13)



This book wasn't quite what I expected. I thought it would be a fairly light read about friendship and graduating from college and the lives we create afterward. While that's the general plot, it was way heavier than that. It tackled serious subjects like rape and sex trafficking. It kept me guessing and I couldn't put it down. There were some graphic descriptions but that helped paint a very real picture. It wasn't all sweet and easy, which I appreciated because life isn't either. I can't say I related to a lot of the story but the issues it covered are ones that women face everyday. It was a powerful book.
