This book hit entirely too close to home, it is absolutely heartbreaking & touches on very tough subjects. On my tbr since it's 2019 release & while I'd stopped reading YA many years prior I like this author so I decided to read it anyway. While this book is YA it still touches on very...

Review: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
I read this book back in August, the universe conspired to bring me a handful of books about books back-to-back. Bookish serendipity. I was not expecting the depth of this book, it sat on my tbr for 2 years before I got around to reading & I'd forgotten at that point what the story was... Continue Reading →
Review: The Glass Girl by Kathleen Glasgow
Categorized as young adult, this is a tough read. Trigger warnings, depression, suicidal ideology, grief, alcohol abuse, self-harm, implied sexual abuse, violence.

005
I weep for the daughters with outstretched arms in anticipation of their mothers love, left in perpetual wait. Daughters who navigate their youth alone, silently because their words were mostly met with hate. Battling against the cycles of pain that span generations. Trying to build homes on crumbling foundations. The daughters of broken daughters; Granddaughters... Continue Reading →
