missedita 's review for:

Rust & Stardust by T. Greenwood
5.0

I had never heard of Sally Horner’s story. Never read Lolita either. And I fought every fiber of my librarian being to not just throw down the book and google it. That’s the approach I would recommend going in - preferably know as little as possible because you won’t be able to put it down.

Aside from needing a moment to recover from being completely fucking horrified about what’s happening.

It’s a bit like the Pursuit of Happyness, where terrible things keep happening and you’re like, “Surely, this has to get better at some point.” And then it doesn’t.

That said, this book is amazing. It’s just raw, gut-wrenching emotion. The author does a spectacular job of conveying all the sorrow, despair, longing, and heartache of each of the characters and the depths and complexities of their relationships in the wake of the kidnapping.

Check out my full review here.

Also, thanks to St. Martin's Press for sending me an ARC. I guess. You probably should have sent someone to give me a hug after, too.
