Starve
by A.J. Merlin, A.J. Merlin
Starved by AJ Merlin is raw, haunting, and deeply human in the best way. From the very first page, I was pulled into the story and couldn’t put it down. Merlin’s writing is both lyrical and gut-wrenching, striking that perfect balance between vulnerability and strength.
The characters feel so real—messy, flawed, and achingly relatable. I loved how the book doesn’t shy away from difficult themes, yet it handles them with such compassion and honesty. It’s the kind of story that lingers with you long after you’ve finished, making you reflect on your own heart and the ways people carry both pain and hope.
As an ARC reader, I feel so lucky to have experienced this book early. Starved is bold, unforgettable, and absolutely worth every ounce of praise it’s going to receive. I would love to see more like this from her in the future.
