Hello lovelies! Long time no blog post! I've had a little mental health speed bump - nothing too serious, but enough to stop me blogging for a few weeks.

Lucy Reviews Stuff: Ep 2, 13 Reasons Why 2/10 (Trigger Warning: Mental Illness and Suicide)
I had a really hard time choosing the rating for 13 Reasons Why. It has a diverse cast, explores sexuality, tackles how even during adolescence girls are treated in an overtly sexual and disturbing way.
