Welcome to Litsy!

Listened via audiobook. #triggers #HEA Loved the story and rooted for Coach the entire time! Narration was phenomenal, as usual.

If this were only Violet‘s story, I‘d feel differently. Since it‘s Violet + Finch‘s, it made me mad.

It begins innocuously enough, an unlikely friendship forming between two struggling teens, helping each other through mental illness and grief. But then, with the (predictable) ending, it feels more harmful than helpful to the dialogue around mental health.

After this book + The Female of the Species, I really need some good, happy books. 😂

I work in a bookstore, and tons of people come in for the Dorothy Must Die series. I read the first book and was pretty disgusted with it. The main character was annoying and nothing felt very well developed for it. I always warn people away from it now.

This is an excellently written book so far, but the triggers for Depression are STRONG. They are making it very difficult for me to read this. I really hope I don‘t have to DNF the book because of them, because this feels like such an important read.

For anyone who may be sensitive to subject matter surrounding depression, like me, know that this book talks about symptoms & experiences heavy handedly.

Holy trigger warning bat man! This book starts out with a graphic rape and murder of a minor from her point of view and quite frankly after that it doesn‘t really matter what it does. I could see it being a provoking read but that is just not where my headspace is right now. #dnf #bail #nope #triggers

I almost bailed on this one. It took me a long time to get into it. It‘s definitely a tough read with serious abuse. But I found that I couldn‘t leave Turtle without finding out how her life turned out. I‘m definitely glad I stayed. 🌲

Yes, it has twists and turns, but I found it depressing (like a Lifetime movie). I don't need a happy ending wrapped up neatly with a bow, and even though this book had good reviews, I can't recommend it. #litsyAtoZ #triggers I bought this as a gift based on reviews, and now am thinking I should give an apology?
