challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced

If you enjoy introspective, emotionally driven fiction with a touch of poetic melancholy, this is absolutely worth reading. This is an emotionally rich and atmospheric novel that weaves together themes of grief, healing, and connection with a haunting, almost ethereal tone. From the start, the writing pulls you in with its lyrical quality and quiet intensity.
The story’s strength lies in its emotional depth. The characters feel raw and real, especially the protagonist, whose journey through loss and self-discovery is both painful and deeply relatable. The author has a talent for capturing those quiet, aching moments of reflection, as well as the small, hopeful sparks of growth.
There’s a strong sense of symbolism throughout the book—the idea of fabric, memory, and identity being intertwined is explored in a way that feels both literal and metaphorical. It’s subtle but powerful, and adds a unique layer to the storytelling.

While the prose is gorgeous and the emotion is genuine, there were moments where I wished for a bit more development or clarity in the plot. Still, the heart of the story shines through, and it’s one that lingers with you.

I have no words. Not for the faint of heart.

Maybe I don't have a soul, because I didn't shed a tear while reading.

I honestly didn't even like it that much. I don't even want to write out a whole review. I get it was an unorthodox treatment center, but come on, it was like a rich person's vacation, let's be honest. There were no rules. They could leave on the weekends, rooming with the opposite sex, leaving the center at night. Come on. I know the author had that whole thing in the beginning that this was her take on treatment centers, and I am not bashing her in any way. It was just a little too fake for me.

Also, some of the things that Liam said to Wynn were disturbing and gross. Also, did you know Wynn had pink hair? Just thought I'd tell you in case you didn't catch it the 105 times it was said in the book.

I devoured this book. You have to be in a good place to read this, check the triggers warning carefully. That said; this book was sad and depressing and some parts did hurt a lot to read, but oh boy did I weirdly enjoyed it. 


Heartbreakingly beautiful

I’m breathtakingly heartbroken but in the best way. 100% the best book I’ve read this year.
