Welcome to Litsy!

This book was so beautiful and lyrical I couldn‘t stop listening to it. A girl (in her twenties I‘m guessing) loses her boyfriend in a tragic accident and this entire novel is her musings and remembering and trying to carry on with her life in the years afterward. The poetic cadence is gorgeous and you can feel the grief and loneliness underlying the whole book. It is stunning. So many amazing quotes to dissect here. 4⭐️

When Monday brings a book you had high high on your wish list 👏👏📚💃🏼 @Melvillehouse for this lovely surprise.😁

A lovely and heartbreaking book about loss, grief, and the difficulty of continuing to live with this hollowness. Full review at http://booknaround.blogspot.com/2018/08/review-let-me-be-like-water-by-sk-perry....

This is heartbreaking and beautiful so far.

This book is a beautiful, heartbreaking story of young love and young loss, a meditation on grief and what-could-have-beens and friendship and mental health, with glimpses of the sometimes cruel, sometimes magical ways the world works when life is shattered and we're left with nothing but the pieces. // Full review to come, but you're going to want to add it to your pre-order list immediately.

I‘m not sure I can say it‘s a book to enjoy, there is so much sadness in it. But it‘s also has a lot of lessons about family and friendship and having anchors to stop you floating away (metaphorically and physically). The sea is also a separate, wonderful character.

I thought it was beautifully written and accurately portrays the pain of grief.

Lovely new books in the mail today and a great postcard from Cathy 😁😁 thank you x

Beautifully written book with short poetic chapters that read like a collection of poetry. The grief feels authentic and real, but sometimes it‘s hard to like grieving people and sometimes I didn‘t like Holly. I adored the man who befriends her, Frank. He‘s a collector of people who need friends and brings Holly together with a group of people to help her through as well. The story is one of healing.

Rating: There is a lot of sexual content...
