I’m a simple girl. I see a book with illustrations in it, I read it immediately. I’ve just completed it and my thoughts are all over the place. I’ll probably come back and edit this review again but for now I’m just gonna talk about all the things running through my head right now.
✨Please note that there maybe some spoilers below so you might want to stop reading here✨
This book has such pretty illustrations in it and the writing in this book is so raw and captivating. The illustrations were the first thing I noticed and the blurb was the reason I decided to pick this up. The author talked about addiction, anxiety, depression and many other issues in such a manner that I found myself constantly thinking about them and the way they affect the people who faced these issues.
There were so many parts where I could relate to Alice and Venus and so many instances where I wish I could just give them a hug too. I love the way the book ended, leaving it up to our imaginations to decide Alice’s fate(and Venus too) since anyone who knows Tino, knows what kind of a person he is. The letter that Alice wrote to Bartender made me feel so emotional and since I’m a big fan of HEA, I’m gonna imagine a different ending to it all.
Overall I really enjoyed reading this book and to anyone who wants to pick this up, make sure you check the TWs first. It’s also available on KU for anyone interested✨
