⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved the idea behind this story. Loved Addie. Loved the writing style. If it hadn't bogged a little bit in the middle - 3/4ths section, it would have been a 5 star read. As it is, it was still a terrific book.

"If you need this book, it is for you"

This. Book.

This memoir both hits home and is completely eye opening. It's a heartbreaking account of first love, self discovery and same-sex domestic abuse. What really got me was the unique writing style and prose. Written in both first and second person POV with poetry and even a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure chapter, this was interesting and so powerful to read.

Highly, highly recommend!

Soubhiville Yes! My bookclub just discussed this last night. It‘s the first book in a long time that we all gave two enthusiastic thumbs up, even with the difficult subject matter. 3y
FantasyChick @Soubhiville Yes! I can't believe I haven't heard about this book everywhere. It's harsh and hard to read at times but so, so good! 3y

There are 15 stories by 15 different authors in this anthology. I expected at least some of them to feature Sookie, but she was only briefly in one of them. Of the lot, 3 of them were moderately enjoyable. The remaining 12 varied from so-so to pointless filler. A waste of an audible credit. ☹

⭐⭐⭐
Eh, maybe it's because I hadn't read Practical Magic. But I struggled to care about any of the people in this book. It wasn't bad. But it wasn't great either.

Meh. I've read worse?

This has been done. Again and again and again. I love an unreliable narrator but the characters were "meh" and the twists weren't that twisty. I shouldn't be able to figure out the ending of a book in the first 25% ?‍♀️

16pts

Clwojick Maybe we‘re just in the detective mindset after a month of reading mainly suspense and thrillers lol. 😜I figured out my last few earlier on in the books too! 4y
FantasyChick @Clwojick That must be it! We need to get jobs as detectives and solve some crimes while we're on a hot streak lol 4y
