Read to me by Levar Burton.

Stories make even the most difficult relatable. There are stories everywhere. Even in math.

5.0⭐ “There’s a terrible rawness inside my chest that I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and yet, I crave more.”
**spoilers**
Yeah, that's love for sure.
If you’re following my reviews, thanks for rolling with me ♡
It’s the fifth season of Stitcher’s LeVar Burton Reads, and we’re gifted with “The Simplest Equation” by Nicky Drayden.
Crying in the club right now.
I’m always so impressed with how writers can move us so deeply in the space of a few words. I write, I’m trying to do the short story thing, but it’s HARD. It’s so hard to make a reader care about someone in that limited amount of time.
The concept of story and poetry through numbers reminded me of that great moment in the film Contact when the scientists realized the aliens were sending prime numbers. It didn’t mean anything, but two life forms using numbers to identify a pattern, that means everything. EVERYTHING.
It is a language—a meeting of the minds, if only for a small conversation.
This story legit had me crying. I went a long time not realizing these characters were romantically involved because their relationship reminded me of hanging out with my best friend. We share a lot in common, but she got exposure to things that I wasn’t allowed to watch as a kid. When we hit our twenties, we’d watch movies, read books, and she saw them in different ways that opened me up to imagination and broader thinking. It's the *best* feeling in the world. That ‘A-ha!’ moment when your views line up, and everything clicks.
When I realized this story had a romantic lean, guess who came to mind <3
They make me cry too.
THEN LEVAR MADE ME CRY. I am just in my feelings, okay?!

I very much enjoyed this story, especially narrated by Levar Burton on his podcast, "Levar Burton Reads." There was something very magical about it all, and yet the subject matter was all so mundane and ordinary to a certain extent. Another story from this podcast that I'll have a hard time forgetting.

This story made me tear up :'> A beautiful queer scifi story about girls doing math <3

Review of 'The Simplest Equation' by Nickey Drayden only - 3 stars
This didn't grab me, but I think it's mostly my mental block to enjoying anything to do with mathematics. The aliens-part-of-human-world aspect was interesting, and the idea of a mathematical equation living/breathing and telling a story is nice, but I just couldn't love it because of maths.
