Welcome to Litsy!

I went into this book knowing very little about its plot. I am really happy about that because following where the pages took me and how they unfolded Vivek‘s story was such an emotional journey and I was better able to focus on each moment and revelation. Yes, this book was about Vivek‘s death but more importantly it was about the life and love surrounding that death. #14books14weeks book 5

15 year old Wren lives in the West Virginia mountains. She is cut off from the world by her snake handling preacher father. Her mother‘s true soul mate is her best friend who has pledged to always stay close and protect her. As a series of tragedies occur Wren starts to unravel all of the secrets of her family and emerge from her seclusion. I really liked this. Vivid characters and the story unwound in ways that surprised me. #14books14weeks book4

Max and Vincent start dating and while they‘re getting to know each other so does the reader. She‘s a trans woman, he is a man with a past. Both are struggling with complex feelings and like a teenager I kept wishing them to stick together because I loved them both so much! Fantastic read!

One of my issues with reading challenges is that the list usually changes before the metaphorical ink is dry. For example, I ended up reading The Spy Coast early, so I replaced it with Road Fever which was rec‘d by a friend after I made the list. There was some cursing involved in making the original collage, so I‘m not updating it! #14books14weeks

Anyway, this was a little dated but informative and interesting (once they finally hit the road).

A good friend gave me this book, it‘s very much not what I usually read. But I‘m glad I did. There are no easy fixes or answers. Boyle asks only that we have compassion for our fellow humans.
