A review by ldillaway
My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell

5.0

I had to sit with this book for a while before I could rate or review it (9 months apparently), but it’s stuck with me and I think it’s really well done. It has a very dark and difficult subject matter, one that frankly hits a little too close to home at times, but it handles it with empathy and care and feels like a portrayal of processing this kind of trauma that is very rooted in reality.

It’s about a topic that is difficult enough I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending this book to others, I think people need to come to it on their own, but if you are looking to read about this topic this book is done very well.
