Welcome to Litsy!

A sweet book that introduces grief at a first grade reading level. It illustrates the changes in sorrow and cheerfulness and how a friend can help. #underthedustcover

If you are looking for me, you‘ll find me here (until further notice).

Dark, brutally honest. Expressive and impactful art. Thorogood uses a variety of styles and images to depict her struggles with suicidal depression and finding her way as a young adult and burgeoning artist/author.

Olivia Dade hits every time! How does she keep writing these sweet MCs and relatable FMCs?

I don't know how to properly review this. I feel like it requires multiple reads or a slow, contemplative one. Topics include suicide ideation, communication, depression, self-worth, relationships with self and others, creativity and creation. The art is wonderfully varied to convey different ideas. The narration is very meta and very personal, but I think the message is universal, especially post-2020, even if you don't struggle with depression.

Abigail‘s dark cloud is a constant companion - it darkens her soul and the atmosphere surrounding her. Can she find a way to navigate life and find joy and color despite the grey blob?? Excellent story about a child‘s depression/melancholy 🌸🌼

My indie bookstore is starting a romance book club and this is the May and first pick. I‘ve read an Olivia Dade book before and enjoyed it but this one was LONG! It‘s 400 pages and pretty heavy, so the romance doesn‘t start until really a little more than halfway through. I get it as part of the story, the MC was dealing with a lot, but still.

But I did enjoy this one and am interested in reading the other books in this world once written.

Loved this book so much.

This reads like the romcom “Set It Up” but in slightly different setting. I liked that mental health was such a huge part of the story. It really was a pretty cute romance. A few wrinkles, but nothing too glaring. Breakup felt silly to me. What I did notice though is that mature content 🌶️ matches the one from the book I‘ve read prior, down to the sequence and details. This book came out 2 years earlier, it is now the trend, I guess.
