elliebooks 's review for:

Lucid by Lucy Holden
4.0

Really enjoyed this, at first was a bit eye-rolly with the comparison of the pandemic to a war, thinking it was all a bit maudlin / hyperbolic & self-indulgent, but by the end, I respected how the author chose not to end things 'neatly', with a ring or a baby or a perfect relationship, but honouring her own journey and the ups and downs within it, and the reality of her circumstance as a person still recovering and growing and leaning into herself

memorable moments:
difficult to read section about rape & telling friends
Everest thing
toxic relationships
