Pretty easy read. This book was actually spicier than I was expecting? Idk I thought it would be more a dark exploration of mental health, which I mean there is some of that, but also a fair amount of smut also, so fair warning if that isn't your thing. The characters were likable enough that there was also some underlying mystery to keep the pace going. Made it a pretty fast read. All in all was enjoyable.

This was good but a bit predictable. It didn’t quite hit all the way. I picked this up because I was told there was a hate aspect, but it never  felt like they hated each other. The twist was a little underwhelming. The murder mystery/detective aspect of this was a huge thread in the first half and then just fell off. The end was very sad but not enough to make me cry and I’m a CRIER. Overall, I did like the premise.

I read this in two days. If you have ever struggled with mental health issues or self-harm, I would suggest not reading this book. It is a dark romance, thriller, and mystery. Normally, I can guess plot twists within a book but this one got me. I loved it, but I hate that I love it?

This was a very sad and spicy book with a bit of mystery and murder sprinkled in. The murder mystery plot took turns that I never expected and were so unique. There was actually less spice than I expected, but what was there was wonderful. Some of the relationship aspects seemed unrealistic to me, but overall I enjoyed the book and loved the three main characters.

The Fabric of Our Souls by @k.m.moronova completely wrecked me, and I would do it all over again. 

PROS: 

🩹The way mental illness is handled 

🩸The way chronic illness is handled 

🩹The way terminal illness is handled 

🩸The way each character’s past trauma played a role in shaping their mental illness 

🩹The fact the characters and their darkness felt a little too real at times. 

🩸LANSTON NEVERS 

🩹Liam Waters 

🩸Wynn Coldfox 

🩹Moonflower fields

🩸That hot tub/pool scene 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

🩹The freaky Clue game 

CONS: 

🩸Take the entire first half of the pros list and remember your girl suffers from both chronic and mental illnesses that are considered disabilities, add the appropriate amount of things hitting a little too close to home, a pinch of salt, and shake. 

🩹Honestly, trigger warnings exist for a reason and smarter people than me would have paid attention to them. 

🩸Don’t ignore the trigger warnings. 

🩹Crosby. Hate him. Like, he gets a LITTLE sympathy. But F him.
