This is a haunting, lyrical story set on the Irish Kerry cliffs. Micheál, a reluctant guardian of a suicide blackspot, inherits his late mother‘s grim duty of watching and intervening when he can.
Torn between family estrangement, personal grief, and the suffocating pull of home, Micheál‘s silence speaks volumes. I‘ll be thinking of this for a while.

The Pact: A Love Story | Jodi Picoult

Chris and Emily‘s lives are so intertwined from birth that it‘s no surprise that they become a couple in high school. Their future together seems predetermined until the night Emily dies by gun shot wound, tearing the lives of her loved ones apart. I liked this in that it was very readable, Picoult checks all the emotional boxes, and I love a dramatic courtroom scene but the more I think about it the more problematic it becomes. (1/2) #DoubleSpin

LeafingThroughLife There are definitely some problems with consent here. Not only does Emily often not give it…she often seems to surprised when Chris suddenly slides into her (?!?). The premise of the book leans heavily on Chris‘s love for Emily that demands he spare her pain except in their sexual relationship he is somehow totally unaware. Also for a book that‘s been printed many times over, def has a weird amount of copy editing failures. (2/2) 3w

I too just want to revel in a carnival like Templeton the rat. Austin's novels hit very close to home for me, to the point that I don't know how to convey my review. Another link in my chain of books for weird, gay people - read it - join us.

Mattsbookaday So glad you loved this one! Emily Austin is something special 1mo
