bailedI needed a prayer to get through half of this book..ended up bailing half way through. I just could not get into the story. It was sooooo slow, repetitive, long winded in descriptions and a little too weird for me. It‘s well written and has an interesting concept for the hard issues the book dives into but it just wasn‘t for me. Onto the next book…
This is my favorite book of #February & very close to my fave of the year. #2ndbookof2021 #12booksof2021 @Andrew65
Blooms is a local author who wrote a unique debut novel. She uses magical realism to explain the effects of trauma in the story of a young girl growing up in a poor family (assuming in Appalachia). Can‘t wait for Blooms‘ 2nd book this February.

pickWow. This is an amazing, unique book. A debut novel by a Ky writer. The story of Misty & her family in Appalachia, the hardships that women cope with, & ultimately, the hope in our lives. Gave me some Bastard out of Carolina vibes, but the sexual abuse isn‘t detailed like in Bastard. Instead, Blooms uses magical realism to help you feel what a victim feels—the disassociation, loneliness, fear, shame, feeling you body isn‘t your own. 👇
Starting this book today & love that she included a note detailing the trigger warnings & gave permission for readers to set it aside. She also disclosed that she has PTSD & is a survivor.
I‘m sitting at the Vet and this book is next on my list to read. Although the title fits how my dogs feel when they go to the vet, this book is hardly about dogs or vets but it is about Trauma, hope and renewal. I‘m excited to read this book.
