This book was ok. Like I wanted to get to the end to find out what was going on and it had a major tearjerker affect but it wasn’t something I would reread.

Maybe it's because I am in the mental health field, but this shit was so inaccurate? I understand that the psychiatric rehab center is supposed to be "unorthodox" but females/males sharing rooms and showers, encouraging the patients to have sex with each other or go into town to go to the bar or tattoo parlor? Where there is constant self-harm and suicide attempts? The FMC's brother also just calls her doctor and asks her to be put on sleeping medication and the doctor just does it the very same day. No assessment just vibes <3

At this point, it was like an adult summer camp with the occasional group therapy session where rich people just said that they hate the mundanities of life. Yes, going to work and grocery shopping sucks, but that is not typically the reason for extreme suicidality. Don't forget when the MMC came to the hospital and pretended to be a nurse to meet the FMC, after hearing the nurses and doctors talking about her at the psych rehab center where he is a patient? He just left for the day to pretend to be a nurse and came back just in time to be assigned as her roommate. We could've had an effective "unorthodox psych rehab" think Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty. The twist was fine, but if the unrealistic p

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.
