She is only five, yet already she has learned that there is no point in askin her mother for a bedtime story, that inviting friends over is something only other children can do, that new toys are a rare luxury, that at home Kit and Tiffin are the only ones who get their own way. At the age of five she has already come to terms with one of life's harshest lessons: that the world isn't fair...
pan⭐️ If only I could give this less than one star! Not an enjoyable read at all! Not believable, whiny characters, didn‘t make anything but uncomfortable and oh yes, no way is this YA. With regards to a story about tragic incest, I‘d go back to Flowers in the Attic any day. Now that‘s a tragic more realistic story.
Hey y‘all!! Sorry for the inactivity lately! Life has been pretty crazy that I just didn‘t have time to sit down and update you guys. Now that it has been slower, I‘m looking forward to being back on here and giving you my opinion on the books I have read. Look forward to posts starting next week :) Here‘s a photo of my son, Barnabas Collins and I :)
pickNothing better than a snow day. I read this riveting book in two sittings. It‘s the story of siblings who fall in love, which I know is all sorts of problematic, but Suzuma manages to make their story believable, beautiful and devastating. It‘s YA, and while I don‘t personally believe in trigger warnings, I would certainly be asking some questions before I lent it out to students.
Another controversial read. I‘m finding it hard to get through this one. Not because of the obvious reasons but because of the style of writing. I can‘t properly engage and I really want to know what happens but not through spoilers. I don‘t want to put it in the DNF pile, button it‘s getting there
When #shelovesyou but totally shouldn‘t! 🤣🤣🤣 Eek! 😱😬💔 Haven‘t read this, but couldn‘t resist picking it up for $1. #heyjune
so-soI‘ve been curious about this one since its release. Curious if it was well written enough to convince me that a brother and sister could really fall in love due to their circumstances. In the end though, I didn‘t buy it. Interesting idea to get you thinking and pretty good writing but I wanted the author to convince me and she didn‘t.
pickI have to take a moment here to recommend that most heart wrenching books I have ever read. These books will make you feel things you never imagined you would. I read them back to back and both left me emotionally drained. The mark of a great book. They are beautiful, tragic taboo romances. Incest, abuse, neglect, obsession are the backdrop to these romances. Couldn't recommend them more.
Whenever I try to rec this book to people, I‘m met with a lot of judgment. And, full disclosure, it is a book about an incestuous relationship between a brother and sister. But it‘s so beautifully written, incredibly heartbreaking, and so respectfully covers a controversial, taboo topic.
One of my favorite reads of the year and I cried through an entire box of tissues.
pickForbidden is such a heartbreaking and beautifully written book.
It has the power to shatter your heart with such a story.
The plot is simple, yet so powerful and moving. You will experience a roller coaster of emotions while reading.
If you haven't read it PLEASE DO READ IT!
Highly recommended.

I actually read this book four years ago and I really enjoyed it. I've been thinking of picking it up again. I think the author does a great job of making the reader feel sick about the incest but also sympathize with the two characters because of their situation.
so-soI allow myself to be suckered into stuff Iike this and am never sure why. I read and was titillated by V.C. Andrews when I was a teen, but this kind of story no longer has shock value. An big ho-hum.
Habe schon sehr viel über dieses Buch gehört und die Meinungen waren alle ziemlich gespalten.
so-soI couldn't sleep last night so read this.... Interesting story I didn't seem to love it like everyone else
pickI finished this book in the living room with my husband and sister sitting beside me. I closed it, got up, and immediately ugly cried so hard, they were both very confused. Read it but be ready.
pickWarning: this book deals with very taboo subject matter.
This book destroyed me. Out of all the books I've read this one still sticks out like a sore thumb in my mind. The main characters stole my heart, then crushed it with their story. Be prepared to cry.
pickI read this book when it first came out and I still think about it now. It has such an impact. I absolutely loved it.
pickNo explanations or wahatsover. Just read it guys! PS: You need to prepare lots of tissues.
