challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense

This was really enjoyable, not my normal genre but I really liked it. The characters were so lovable and the plot was pretty good. I also loved the authors writing and will likely continue reading books by her.

This was a very sad and spicy book with a bit of mystery and murder sprinkled in. The murder mystery plot took turns that I never expected and were so unique. There was actually less spice than I expected, but what was there was wonderful. Some of the relationship aspects seemed unrealistic to me, but overall I enjoyed the book and loved the three main characters.

A good intro to dark romance as it had a bit of a mystery and there were only a few romance scenes. Unique setting and mystery and character development with the mental illnesses. The only thing I wished was that we got more insight to Wynn's story than just one group therapy discussion. 

But it was good read! Your heart will break, fill, hurt, fill, break again, then fill up again patched up.

Whoever coined the phrase “sticks and stones” is an asshole, don’t you think? Words indeed hurt more than stones. Thanks for trying to gaslight me out of it though. It didn’t work.

The fabric of our souls is thin—we’ve been wandering this world just to unite in this small corner of the universe. Our connection is frightening and enchanting all at once.

The Fabric of our Souls is thin and worn. We must be gentle and love tirelessly.

The Fabric of Our Souls by @k.m.moronova completely wrecked me, and I would do it all over again. 

PROS: 
🩹The way mental illness is handled 
🩸The way chronic illness is handled 
🩹The way terminal illness is handled 
🩸The way each character’s past trauma played a role in shaping their mental illness 
🩹The fact the characters and their darkness felt a little too real at times. 
🩸LANSTON NEVERS 
🩹Liam Waters 
🩸Wynn Coldfox 
🩹Moonflower fields
🩸That hot tub/pool scene 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
🩹The freaky Clue game 

CONS: 
🩸Take the entire first half of the pros list and remember your girl suffers from both chronic and mental illnesses that are considered disabilities, add the appropriate amount of things hitting a little too close to home, a pinch of salt, and shake. 
🩹Honestly, trigger warnings exist for a reason and smarter people than me would have paid attention to them. 
🩸Don’t ignore the trigger warnings. 
🩹Crosby. Hate him. Like, he gets a LITTLE sympathy. But F him.

🌶️🌶️🌶️💞💞💞❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
K.M. Moronova seems to have peered into my soul and written a book that my soul would sing to. 
I laughed, I cried, I felt what the characters felt so acutely. 
In the end the book had a real life ending and I think that’s what made it the best. 
This will be a book I will always remember and cherish, it’s a soul book that seems to have put a balm to even some of my own scars from my past. 
And it doesn’t hurt that the 🌶️ was 💯!!!

This was a beautiful and tragic story. The plot was simple and easy to follow. Mental health is a huge part of the book, for those of us that struggle that can be a good or bad thing. Remedium meum.
