Going Pitchfork style with my ratings from now on. FFY fuses many genres together, but I wouldn‘t recommend this as a mystery/thriller. I recommend this because it has great characters and pure raw emotion. It explores through the struggle of dealing with grief, loss, and substance abuse in an intense way that makes me understand Sophie‘s motives, even though they‘re wrong. 1/5

Literally just finished this. I stared at the wall for a solid 10 minutes before getting up to post this. I‘ve read a ton of sad books, but this one made me feel emotions I‘ve never felt after reading a book. I‘m going to get some sleep and write a review tomorrow with a fresh mind. Love you all and please give this a read if you haven‘t yet ❤️

Okay.

I only glanced at the first page because I was looking to grab an LGBT read from my shelf. How do you expect me to put it down after making those the first few sentences?? 😭 59 pages in. Haven‘t been able to put it down.

This one was okay, it's a great book on addiction and overcoming a lot of different things, and living with it. But there were major plot holes that I felt like couldn't be over looked. Also I just didn't think the who done it made a lot of sense in the end, there was no hints or anything through out the book, so it felt like an after thought. Also very young adult, so if you don't like YA, I wouldn't pick this one up. 2 5/5

everything the other book wishes it could be. actual character development and such. pretty good. unexpected twist

The book “far from you” by Tess Sharpe is about a girl named Sophie who is a disabled, bisexual, recovering drug addict who had lost her best friend to a shooting. She got into an accident at the age of 14 and left not to injured but was caused by Oxy. After the loss of her friend and drugs being planted on her at the scene Sophie is sent back to rehab after already beating the addiction. This book is very interesting and an easier read.

This one has all the feels! Pretty hard hitting for a YA book, tackling handicapping injury, addiction, same sex attraction, loss, and more all wrapped up in a double mystery. The mystery wasn't the most astounding, but when coupled with the rest this was a strong piece of fiction (IMO). Would definitely read more by this author.

I didn‘t realize this was #YA and wondered why I wasn‘t enjoying it until I reread the description about 2 hours into it. Yeah...nope. Not a reflection on book or author. Just not my jam.

Some reading while pizza bakes and all that cheese meeeeeeeelts

So after reading the first few pages, I honestly was like wth have I gotten myself into with this book?!... in a good way! It‘s a whirlwind rollercoaster trying to figure out who murdered Sophie‘s best friend, while also diving into secrets revealed through flashbacks. I couldn‘t put this book down. It has some dark areas, but life can get dark at times. I would definitely recommend. 📚❤️✨

Clearly, I‘m enjoying reading this book! I‘ll have a review up by Sunday! #JustKeepReading 📚🙃

‘Living with the truth can be murder..‘ This is supposed to be a pretty good one for your diversity #YAWednesday ! It hits on bisexuality, addiction, and murder. 🤟🏻 @TheFunkyBookworm

"It's a complicated mess of wants and needs, boys and girls: soft, rough, and everything in between, an ever-shifting precipice from which to fall."

Awesome story, complex characters and relationships and great rep! Highly recommend, especially if you like teen detective styles stories or are a fan of Veronica Mars! Loved it!

"But this is the thing about struggling out of that hole you've put yourself in: the higher you climb, the farther you have to fall."

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
The first murder mystery I have read, and I was very engaged, only took me two solid days of reading to complete. Love the characters and their development and finding out who the killer was 🔪

This is a book that resonated with me so deeply, it makes me wish I could give it more than five stars. That I could hand it out to everyone who has even a remote interest. Its amazing story with many elements and quite the emotional punch in the teeth!

On my way to Chennai but the train has been halted right outside the city until a cyclone passes. It's a good thing I never travel without my kindle. #DiversityDecBingo #Travelreads

My #DiversityDecBingo TBR is all YA. I'm starting to feel like it's one of the only sections in publishing that has the majority of the small percentage of #ownvoices books being published.

I really enjoyed this one. But is it telling of the publishing industry in general that f/f romances in YA rarely either happen or end well?

Really enjoying this book so far! It's a good ya suspense book with a central mystery and a narrator I'm really rooting for.

Last night's tea brewing while Black Mirror is on Netflix and I dig in to Far From You.

Nine months. Two weeks. Six days.

That's how long recovering addict Sophie's been drug-free. Four months ago her best friend, Mina, died in what everyone believes was a drug deal gone wrong - a deal they think Sophie set up. Only Sophie knows the truth. She and Mina shared a secret, but there was no drug deal. Mina was deliberately murdered.

And that is how you start a story.

Beach reading today! I loved this quote. "Somehow, though, I've managed to tie us all in knots, and I don't know how we can break free."

I absolutely loved this book! It was mysterious and thrilling and kept me intrigued the entire time I was reading.

LOVED THIS. Absolute favorite LGBTQ YA I've read so far this year. This was an emotionally complex and intriguingly suspenseful murder mystery.
