There Is A Light by Ban Gilmartin

5.0

I’ve always loved Ban’s writing. I read her fics during some of my darkest moments. They made me laugh out loud and feel a little less crazy and manic. Then I read her novels, and let me just say *that shit hits different*. Reading There Is A Light is like getting a mirror shoved in your face and having someone yell at you “life sucks but it doesn’t have to!” With too many cups of coffee and tea, children books, and really great music, this book takes you by the shoulders and shakes you until you understand that you’ll be okay, things will get worked out, change can be good, and life is worth living. I saw myself between these pages, and maybe not everyone can say the same, but for me that means this is a really fucking good book, so you should read it.
And I’m a sap so I gotta say it: There is a light. Always remember that.
