Welcome to Litsy!

Chris and Emily‘s lives are so intertwined from birth that it‘s no surprise that they become a couple in high school. Their future together seems predetermined until the night Emily dies by gun shot wound, tearing the lives of her loved ones apart. I liked this in that it was very readable, Picoult checks all the emotional boxes, and I love a dramatic courtroom scene but the more I think about it the more problematic it becomes.

I too just want to revel in a carnival like Templeton the rat. Austin's novels hit very close to home for me, to the point that I don't know how to convey my review. Another link in my chain of books for weird, gay people - read it - join us.

Great book to show how to get better from depression!!

Obsessed! Yes, this book is about two very different sisters, but it‘s also intricate and layered with many more themes. I feel that many people can relate to Sigrid with today‘s current events. I teared up so much during the second half and felt empty yet hopeful after finishing it. That may not be selling the novel, but it really is a great read if you‘re open to facing hard subjects. I‘m a huge fan of dark and dry humor so this was great.
