Welcome to Litsy!

Thanks to @Bookalong and @Butterflyamore for putting this strange and wonderful book on my radar. I really thought it was well done and I recommend it. It‘s dark, with themes of abuse and loss, but I didn‘t find it that hard to read for some reason. Bianca and Joshua were developed so well, and I wanted to find out what would happen to them.

Jubilee is literary fiction with dark, distressing themes. I know it won‘t be for every reader, but it‘s currently an underrated gem that deserves a bigger audience. I hope it will get all of the attention and love that it deserves.

A gorgeously told novel about mental illness, trauma, strength, love, loss and hope.
This story is about Bianca and baby Jubilee. Bianca cares for her fiercely and devotedly like any mother would. The only thing is Jubilee is a doll and Bianca is convinced without a doubt she is her daughter. Told in alternating chapters of before Jubilee and with Jubilee revealing what led Bianca to Jubilee and what she means to her. Heartbreaking and stunning!

For some reason, I thought this book was already out. Well, it is now - as of today - but I added it to my wishlist last month and somehow managed to blank on the pub date.

Here‘s the basic gist of the storyline: Bianca shows up at her brother‘s house one night. She isn‘t in the best ⬇️

Jubilee was by far the standout of this month. It was the only 5 star read for me. Least favorite was We Don‘t Talk About Her which was only a 1 star. Hopefully I can get more done in October 🤞🏼

Beautiful and heartbreaking masterpiece. I loved every single bit of this. This one left me an emotional wreck. Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC.

@TheAromaofBooks another free space for bingo. I‘ll post my board soon, I promise!
