I was surprised at the rate in which I consumed this book. I started reading it because I thought it would be a light smutty book about an ObGyn and his little brothers best friend who happens to be his patient (lol that’s barley even a subplot). I think the sheer gravity of the content in this book made it in-put-downable, like watching a train wreck of a meteor shower or an awkward first date. These characters are infuriatingly human, ridiculously and painfully relatable. The subject matters addressed in Darling Venom are all too relatable to many of us and if that’s the case for you please reach out to someone you love or someone who loves you. The suicide hotline is 800-273-8255. As Tate would say, “you are breathing, and it is beautiful, and I am so grateful for that.”
