Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m not gonna lie, the ending was a little predictable, and there were a few times when a word was overused just because it‘s big and pretty (once again advocating for a thesaurus and that - gasp! - small words are okay). Overall, I liked the language, even with all the pop culture references, but it felt mostly natural. I still had a good time reading it though, which was refreshing.

This one, like The Husband Stitch, was really hard to read. Tw for assault, the ending for me was really sad. A good end to the overall book though.

A writer goes to a retreat in the woods and is forced to face herself. As a lifelong Girl Scout, and having camped at places similar to the one described in the story, it was a neat visualization to add to the story. As a writer, too, yet another one I can put myself into.

I bought this book after a professor had us read “The Husband Stitch” for a Hauntings and Horrors literature class. I won‘t lie, it did get a little slow there in the middle, and all the stories made my head feel fuzzy, but I did enjoy all of them in some way or another. The Husband Stitch is, imho, the best of them, but a good read regardless.
