Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️3.5/5
Rutledge‘s debut novel focuses on issues such as sexuality, gender identity, just generally knowing who you are, and suicide. However, what I love about this book is it focuses on how to handle having someone you love commit/try to commit suicide without focusing on the suicide. Was pleasantly surprised by this book.

Toast, tea, and tales… not a bad way to start a Monday

Just finished reading one of the best books I have read in a long time. It made me laugh, cry, want to throw it. Cry some more, laugh some more. It is called Miles away from you and the author is A. B. Rutledge. It was seriously so amazing, I will have to buy a copy, so I have one to re read and re read. ❤

This is a problematic book for some people. My review tries to counter some of those arguments. To summarise, I know books can offend some people, but if you‘re likely to be upset, then don‘t read it. I accept that it‘s not always that clear cut. https://trishtalkstexts.wordpress.com/2018/03/11/review-miles-away-from-you-by-a... #blogging #review Thanks #netgalley for advanced copy.

I cannot possibly sum up everything that needs to be said about this book within Litsy‘s character limits. This is such a tremendously hurtful book. Please, PLEASE stop recommending this book to queer teens.

Hey y‘all! So I‘m officially back from my hiatus from Litsy and ready to build a community of friends and fellow readers around here because I really love this place! 💖
QOTD: What are y‘all currently reading? I want to know 🙂

It's been 18 months since a suicide attempt left Vivian on life support. Now Miles isn't sure who he is without her, but knows it‘s time to figure out how to say goodbye.

He books a trip to Iceland but then has a hard time leaving his hotel room. After a little push from Oskar, a local, Miles decides to honor Vivian's life by photographing her Doc Martens standing empty against the surreal Iceland landscapes.

My debut got a starred review from Booklist! "Rutledge's insightful debut captures the voice of an emotionally tormented young man trying to find himself...at turns hilarious, sexy, and emotionally turbulent, Rutledge's examination of the complexities of gender and romantic attraction will be sure to illuminate and captivate." ???
