Welcome to Litsy!

12-2-22: My 120th finished book of 2022! Johanna Morrigan has decided she needs to be someone else. She is over being herself. Out comes Dolly Wilde, a black wearing, eye liner painting, top hat donning music critic for a publication called D&ME out of London. And all at 17. Coming from a poor family, her goal‘s to help them out while being a Lady Sex Adventurer. There is a lot of sex talk some of it off putting since she is a teen. Overall ok.

This is how good YAL is done. I‘m not sure I would even put it in that category- this is just a damn good read for those who want indigenous reality, indigenous unreality, a dollop of magic and then a whole bunch and for anyone who just wants a super charged great read! I‘m so happy there‘s more 😁

Such a interesting book. I don‘t know how to explain it. The form was so cool and kept me reading since the sections were so small. I loved the letter form. The way he wrote, leaving some mysteries for the reader to think about, was so awesome. The form really did a good job of portraying Charlie‘s mental health. Overall a really deep, thoughtful read.

I loved this book. The writing was beautiful and deeply moving. The story is of a family dealing with a terrible loss told from the perspective of the 13 year old son looking back on the events as an adult. He reflects on what he learned about himself, his family, and life in general. It was emotional, spiritual and I couldn't put it down.
