Fragile Lives by Ariana Cane

5.0

This book was absolutely fantastic! The more I read from this author, the more I want to keep reading!!

This story was beautiful and haunting. Please pay attention to trigger warnings.

I loved everything about this one, the town, the mystery, the characters, EVERYTHING! The world-building is amazing!

I also appreciate how very real the characters are, and that although love might heal, it doesn't eradicate the unpleasantness altogether, but allows people to better navigate their circumstances. Although I don't have personal experience with certain topics of this story, this story really resonated with me and gave me pause on my perspective.

The story was fantastically written, the pace was perfect, and I spent the majority of this book thinking "I did not expect that" (a total bonus). And the cherry on the cake was the great spice! (Mature 18+ audiences only for this one).

This book is a wild ride from start to end that will rip you apart in the best way!!
