You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce
4.0
I came into this expecting a murder thriller and got a dark fairytale romance. While I'm not disappointed at all with what I read, I will say this book made me lose interest a couple times with its pacing and had I not been speeding through it, I probably wouldn't have been as happy with it. The romance feels real and raw, with layers of abuse wrapped in mental delusions, that left me fully aligned with he narrator. The book lets you draw you own conclusions, even with overwhelming evidence for the main character's side, and I found it fun to pretend to be the devil's advocate as I read.
The story deals with verbal and sexual abuse, as well as self harm, violence and suicide, and the first page will warn you of some of it. But I also completely forgot about the newspaper clipping at the beginning and man, that will punch you in the gut later.
While not all of this book was for me, I can see what the author was going for, and I have to give credit where credit is due. The book is dripping with wet language, the nature she describes seeping from the pages. A great book for those who feel like they're the only sane one in a room full of idiots.
