A review by bloomingtea
Violet Ghosts by Leah Thomas
Did not finish book.
thank you to netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free ebook in exchange for an honest review! this has not affected my review in any way, all opinions are mine.
No Rating If Possible — Did Not Finish
i was really really excited to read this book!! the cover was really eye-catching, and the description even moreso. a trans protagonist? ghosts? murder and mystery? that sounds super fun! and at first, i was genuinely enjoying the character interactions and writing. however, i was only a few pages in when i went to add this book on goodreads and saw many many reviews listing trigger warnings and to take them seriously. after reading the many trigger warning lists and spoiler-free reviews, i decided to dnf this book for my own mental health.
i see absolutely nothing wrong with writing about these topics, however, a trigger warning at the beginning of this book would be greatly appreciated because they are so heavy and serious, and the blurb made me believe i was signing onto a book that, while still was a little weighty, was a lot more fun.
trigger warning list (although i believe some may be missing according to reviews i've looked at)
