Dear Frances and Bernard,
Although I typically love epistolary novels, I have to break up with you. Your voices are so similar it‘s difficult to distinguish who is writing. And your constant whining just annoys me and makes me sad. I‘m counting you as a full read because I only have 75 pages left. Best wishes, SledgeReader

KateFulfordAuthor If you like good character development, a smart plot and a sassy narrative, may I recommend my debut to you? See the link for reviews and more. 7y

SledgeReader @KateFulfordAuthor I‘m on it! Thanks!!! 7y

Cinfhen Classy breakup letter 🙌🏻❤️ 7y

SledgeReader @Cinfhen You gotta be gentle-especially when they try so hard!! 7y

A snapshot of a relationship from beginning to end, presented through a series of letters. What started off as entertaining and witty repartee became a bit too overwrought (for my tastes) by the end, but overall an engaging read.

Came across this quote last night. It's one of the best descriptions of the struggle with depression that I've read in a long time. For those like me that live with depression, it can be soothing to see emotions so perfectly put into words. Somehow these words help make the struggle manageable and prove that others truly can understand, even when it doesn't always seem like it. Depression lies, but we know better. 👊

Cinfhen That is a beautiful description - and I'm glad to know there are authors who recognize the struggle and are able to articulate the feelings, and bring you comfort 💛 (edited) 8y

cathysaid @cinfen Thanks 💕. I suspect many of us on Litsy are introverts that have similar struggles, so I wanted to share. 8y

cathysaid For anyone interested, another book that helps me immensely is
