In at the Deep End by Kate Davies
3.0

TW for anyone who has been in an abusive (of any sort) relationship. I didn’t think it was possible to hate a fictional character as much as I hate Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter but I guess I needed to read this book in order to hate Sam. While it was inspiring to watch Julia’s coming out journey, it was incredibly painful to read (for a majority of the book) about her dysfunctional relationship with Sam. I love Davis’ writing style and it’s wonderful to get a personal look into queer relationships. Just sucked that we see Julia suffer more than she is happy.
