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.

When I say this book has altered my brain chemistry? It most certainly has and I’m just in awe with this storyline, I just need time to recover from that ending. I’m an emotional mess and this book utterly broke me but also healed me at the same time. It’s dark for sure but it was also morbidly beautiful 🥹😍

I needed this book and I recommend it to anyone who wants something like this. Just be mindful and read the triggers. This book is dark in a different way, can be hard to read, emotional af and triggering. 

I’m so lucky I was recommended this book and I’m so thankful for the reminder to be kind to others. You never know what someone is going through and how much of an impact we can have on someone’s life.

So emotional and deep. I am glad they found each other, but that ending ruined me. Need more of lanston's backstory and also more on maybe liam's family and how they came to hate him even from before that happened
