wow what an insight into life in those times. it really is crazy how all she wanted was for her legacy to last beyond her death but she never got to see it form.
i find it interesting and unusual that the audiobooks from the library, and my physical copy are worded completely differently! my books wording was much more 1940s teenage girl for my liking

Some notable quotes:

"For one fleeting moment I thought, 'Him and his lies. I'll smack his ugly mug so hard he'll go bouncing off the wall.'"
"And keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if... if only there were no other people in the world."

she really was just a young girl …  with a complicated relationship with her mother and her body and her sexuality. She was so articulate and well spoken, I was nothing like that at 13. 

happy late pride month, Anne Frank

So eyecatching, interesting and thought provoking, literally could not place this book down. Currently she has written the only book that I have read from cover to cover in one sitting, while in Normandy France as well!

There’s not much to say about this book that hasn’t already been said. Anne Frank is a precocious writer, with many deep things to say for so young a person. It’s heartbreaking to read certain passages knowing what happened to her. Some editions might do this, but I wish there’d been a narration at the end explaining what happened to the family and the rest of the annex. I never read this as a teen, so it was something I wanted to read this year as my “at least one classic a year” book. 

Some quotes:
“No one wants to see the danger until it’s staring them in the face.” 
“The best remedy for those who are frightened, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be alone, alone with the sky, nature and God. For then and only then can you feel that everything is as it should be and that God wants people to be happy amid nature’s beauty and simplicity. As long as this exists, and that should be forever, I know that there will be solace for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances. I firmly believe that nature can bring comfort to all who suffer.” 
“…until all of humanity, without exception, undergoes a metamorphosis, wars will continue to be waged, and everything that has been carefully built up, cultivated and grown will be cut down and destroyed, only to start all over again!”
