Darkly Beating Heart by Lindsay Smith
4.0
3.5 stars out of 5
This book was a lot more violent than I expected, especially considering it's YA, but I still found it to be a good & interesting read. I feel Lindsay has come up with an interesting way to explore how anger can overtake a teenager's mind, whilst also exploring an interesting part of history.
Trigger Warnings: mentions of suicide & suicidal thoughts, graphic self-harm, domestic violence mentioned, depression, homophobic/biphobic comments made by characters, ableist language toward own mental health & a lot of violence.
