Mud Vein by Tarryn Fisher

5.0

---

This novel was just so many things. I did not expect the trajectory it would take, but I loved every part of it. I felt seen as I dove into Senna's mind. Love is a scary thing to allow oneself to feel because it makes us vulnerable to pain. I highlighted so many passages in this novel because the words are beautiful and stunning. I felt pain and anger as I read it, but also a sense of peace knowing I'm not the only one who feels this way about love and self-isolation in an effort to protect our hearts. I have a Mud Vein. We all do. But finding someone to love us despite it all is so rare. Finding someone who "stays all winter" is not easy, but this book made me believe maybe one day I will.
