My Heart
This was a special beautiful kind of self inflicted torture. It’s been a little while since I got worked up like this. But it is more then worth it! I absolutely love Glover’s writing style she is my ole faith, go to, when I’m in a slump or just don’t know what to read, so I usually squirrel away her books for a rainy day but I absolutely couldn’t put this one off. She is so adept at giving an in-depth perspective on health conditions, mental health issues, and neurodivergent behaviors. It’s an art the way she handles them with such care. It’s not for shock value it’s clearly for representation. I loved the journey. I loved the tears, the suspense, the love, the humor, and the heartache. I loved this book.
