First of all, this book is not going to appeal to everyone. TBH, I picked it up because my kindle suggested it to me. This book is absolutely outside my comfort zone.For Whom the Belle Tolls has CW galore. You name it, it’s in this book. Not to mention there is one steamy scene that I completely skipped.(It’s not my jam, but you do you,boo.)

However, I ate this book up in 24 hours,so I’m left feeling…confused? It’s horrific yet cozy? Trauma-filled yet funny? Dark yet oddly found-family? This book deals a lot with religious trauma, and it feels like much of the author’s own personal experiences are steeped in the book. For these reasons, I can’t give this anything lower than a 4. Should you read it? Maybe… maybe not? I’m glad (I think?) that I picked it up. Will I read the next one… not sure! 😂 I read this book on Libby.
