My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Loved this book, but needed to take several lengthy breaks from it due to the very triggering subject matter. That being said, Russell's writing is very sharp and insightful. I found myself longing to jump into the pages to help the protagonist (then realising she'd hate me for having this impulse).
