Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m not 💯 sure how I feel about this novel. Yes, inappropriate relationships between a teen and his older lovers, a teen girl and her volleyball coach, violence, alcoholism, but none was gratuitous and, in fact, was the basis for their very messed up lives. Yet it was a love story at its heart, between an almost-out teen and his giant (6‘3”) neighbor in the throes of mean girl HS drama. Michael and Bunny will stay with me for long time! 4/5⭐️

This started out SO STRONG!! I was literally laughing out loud and was pulled between deep happiness and deep sadness. But then the book turned dark and I wasn‘t really expecting the last third. It just felt like a different book and ultimately disappointed me. Also personal quibble, I felt like the timeline didn‘t add up - the author gave years but it didn‘t match to both plot developments and real world events. Those small details niggled me.

Started this gem today! Gorgeous day for sitting by the river.

Book 135 A book about friendship, growing up, coming out, difficult families, and anger. It's messy and authentic. Easy and enjoyable.

Started my day off with my toes in the sand, a new audiobook and a pretty deserted stretch of gorgeous SoFlo beach... #audiowalking 💕😎🌴

Finally got around to decorating my kobo. Even as a kid I found it so hard to commit to using stickers I loved, all my sticker books had the paper backs still attached in case I wanted to use the stickers later on. Will need to add a few more small scale ones later.
