Welcome to Litsy!

Remnants of the earlier seasons of Shameless and “The Night Always Comes.” It was engaging, but the third person POV felt like I was just watching Emily's story from afar, instead of being in her head. Dark, disappointing, and strange.

I have to start by saying that I disliked all the characters, and not in a love to hate kind of way, but just a regular old hate kind of way, so it's a huge surprise that I really liked this book! It's as much of a coming-of-age story as a thriller, with a MC forced to return home after she flunks out of college.There, she encounters her first, & really only, crush, the girl who was the source behind her discontent with her small hometown. ⬇️

Emily and Jody were once friends in high school; now they are reunited when Emily returns to town after dropping out and discovers Jody has a son. Those are the bare bones. Their true feelings for each other are finally realized as they‘ve never admitted to anyone they are gay. But there are forces keeping them apart:a meth lab, thugs, parents….I usually love dark stories but this one messed with my head more than usual!😳

A trip away for work has meant that I managed to finish this off yesterday. An unequal friendship, a unrequited love, a meth lab and a gay character at the centre of it‘s story. Although it took me a hot moment to get into this was very well written and gripping. Would recommend to anyone who is a fan of dark drama ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #cottonmouths #aprilread #darkdrama

I got this bought as a present off my amazon wish list- I think I added it after a review on bookiriot?! Has anyone read this yet? I‘m thinking it will my next read?! #cottonmouths #bookriot
