Sylvia Jacobs, I agree. Just that my life story is so bizarre that it would probably be tossed into the fiction section.

Summer book? Looking for my next book
Hey everyone! I’m Sydney from the Stage 32 Education team, and I’m on the lookout for my next summer read! I’m in the mood for something light and fun—maybe a rom-com, a little art and history, or a story set on a beautiful beach or destination. Not too scary, just something to relax with. Any recommendations?
