In absolute tears rn

"her soul is like chiffon, with plenty of tattered rips and tears. The fabric of our souls is thin and worn. We must be gentle and love tirelessly.”

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.

TRIGGER AND SPOILER WARNING REVIEW. 

As someone who has been institutionalized for a suicide attempt, I found the characters and their humor to be 100% relatable. There’s just that sick part of our brain that copes with humor in a way that a lot of people wouldn’t understand. There are dark parts to all of us, and they can be portrayed so very differently. I also really appreciated that this book  talks about  suicide attempts and self harm for people who DO want to live, DO want to feel alive but have ulterior motives or can’t help themselves. The characters are good. The spice is good. The story is good. If you can relate to any of this review, give the book a go and always remember to check in with yourself and someone you love while you read.

WTF Moronova, why would you write this book?! 
My heart is truly broken. 
I loved it, every single second. 
The agony, the pain, sadness, love… 
Such a beautifullly written book, with so many unbelievably beautiful quotes. 
I’m a wreck. 
Thank you, Moronova, for making this book, I’m sure I’ll have this story in the back of my mind for the rest of my life.

Not leaving a star rating as I'm definitely not the intended audience for this book.

However, for what it is, it's good. The spice is spicy, the thriller is thrilling, and the gut punch climax is definitely rough.

Check your triggers and your head space before reading.
