Summer Bird Blue by Akemi Dawn Bowman

5.0

First read: This book was an emotional rollercoaster mostly going down. It explores grief, loss of a parent and sexuality in a way which broke my heart into a thousand pieces, leaving me shattered. The relationship growing between Kai and Rumi was so pure. Even though Rumi was broken in too many ways he stayed with her and did not try to change or help too much. He was just there for her. I identified so much with Rumi, and almost hate the fact this is a stand-alone and I don't know how her story continues.

This was just a book to wreck my soul.

Shall I just start over again right away?

Second read: I died again.
