Welcome to Litsy!

I have mixed feelings.

I appreciate the way Sugar‘s inner monologue is written and her character is developed. The story deals with a lot of issues like abuse, bullying, self esteem, obesity, family relationships, and it moves along quickly. But, it‘s *very* YA. It gets repetitive and unrealistic, and has one of my most-hated tropes that came very close to ruining it for me.

I‘m giving it a pick, but also this book can f%$k right off.😬

⭐️⭐️⭐️

It‘s almost time to start planning for 2019 reading challenges. 🤓

#Popsugar has their 2019 list out and it looks fun! I‘m bound and determined to finish that challenge for 2018.

Here‘s the link to the full list, for anyone who may be interested. 😃

"Sugar" has to let go of the dysfunction of family physical and emotional abuse once she turns 18; and find her true self. It's fraught with challenges but strength and alliances sometimes happen when you least expect them to.

I have REALLY mixed feelings about this book. I must ponder it more.

I always select my Kindle First title every month. I just very rarely read them. #sugar #lyricalapril

Parts were decent. It was predictable. Over all the story could have been better and more complex. Narration was acceptable.

Waiting to pick up Man Cub. A frozen teddy bear latte from my favorite coffee shop and an audiobook.

I loved this book. And the audiobook was great as well. Even though Sugar's high school days and my high school days were been different, her thoughts about herself, what others thought about her, and her journey was relatable. Even was a great guy albeit a little too perfect. Some characters could have been fleshed out more​ and some parts dragged or was too fast. I still felt attracted to the characters and cried at the end. 🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️/5

Finished this great puzzle while listening to Sugar. I need to write down who I get recs from because I would have not known about this book if it wasn't for a fellow Litten. And it's really good. #BlameLitsy #AudioPuzzling

I downloaded this ebook and audiobook for free as part of my Amazon Prime subscription and boy was I surprised. It ended up being fantastic. Heartbreaking, eye opening and realistic. Sugar's life is a combination of struggles that she wades through each day. Then she meets Even and he brings not only friendship but hope into her life. This story is so moving and the audiobook was great too.

Another day, another Audible daily deal I couldn't say no to. 😳
