Welcome to Litsy!

I was extremely disappointed in this book - I learned more on the topic from the author‘s interviews than I did reading. I appreciate that the author wanted to work through her trauma but I didn‘t want to read the trauma dump and not understand the WHY of this timely and impotent topic.
0/5 listen to the interviews about this book and you‘ll learn more about the rising danger of the manosphere and the deadly consequences of misogyny

Fee is 12 when he joins the choir lead by Big Eric who soon starts sexually abusing him and other boys. The first half was beautiful. I loved the writing, the metaphors, depths&the way Chee handled the horror of sexual abuse. I also loved Korean folklore interspersed in the story because of Fee‘s heritage. I didn‘t care much for the college years. I thought they lacked the strength of the first half. Overall, a sad but beautiful book.

“We can‘t always control our circumstances, who our parents are, where we live, or how much money we make, but in those rare moments when we can shape our fate, when we do have the power to make our own happiness, we can‘t be too scared to do it.”

When Max witnesses some kids picking on Worm and steps in to save her. He becomes entrapped to save her life.

Juvenile fiction - some heavy topics. As I kid, I would soaked up every word thinking I was more mature than my classmates. 😬

My best friend gave me this book and it‘s pure gold. Breaks your heart straight up.

4.5⭐
•This was an endearingly sweet story that hit all the feels, but it didn‘t quite hit me like Dark Room Etiquette did. While it had a similar feel to it, I still wasn‘t quite as hooked. Although it‘s still completely worthwhile because the love in this seriously shines.
•Graham Halsted & Christopher Gebauer‘s narration was excellently performed.

Lovely story about teenage love. Great plot with characters to die for. Pacing was a touch slow but the story was so good I easily overlooked it. 4🌟

I read this years ago & absolutely loved it. This time I listened to the audiobook & loved it just as much. The story, characters and narration were all superb.

#LittensLoveRomance A sad ending? but also one filled with hope. What do we think the three words were on the postcard? I think she finally said I love you - I think she needed time to heal and is finally ready to let him know what their connection meant to her. I wonder where her mom and siblings went. Obviously away from Ritchie and that‘s the important thing. ⬇️

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.50-53: In a nice twist, Park‘s father - who really is a decent guy - gives him permission to drive Eleanor to her uncle‘s. I only hope her uncle takes her in. Poor Eleanor doesn‘t have any other options. I felt bad that she had to make the decision to leave her siblings. But in the end, she‘s right in that they would have been doomed from the start if she tried to take them. We‘ll finish with the final few chapters tomorrow.
