lacyduckie 's review for:
Deposing Nathan
by Zack Smedley
I close my eyes, letting myself remember. And as I bathe myself in memory, I see the ghosts of him and me on that first night we spent out here. Us. Lying on the trampoline and basking in the nebulousness of a world we knew nothing about. Not the people we became, but the people we used to be.
Two people joined by love: painted into the stars, protected by memory.
I have wanted to read Deposing Nathan from the moment I first heard about it but I kept putting it off because my intuition told me this book would destroy me. I can definitely said that I was right.
I don't read books that I know are going to be heartbreaking, very often. I don't like dealing with the emotions and memories it can bring up. Deposing Nathan hit so close to home that I kept having to stop and sit the book down and just breathe. It was tough sometimes. This book isn't very pretty. It is very triggering at times. But it is beautiful. And I couldn't stop reading no matter how many tears I had blurring my vision.
I won't go into all the reasons why this book hit so close to home, but I think everyone should read it at some point. I don't think you'll regret it.
