A Breath Too Late | Rocky Callen
Pickpick

Picked this book up as a quick read, and couldn‘t put it down. Once I started the author pulled me into Ellie‘s world and I was encapsulated.

Read last month for #riseupreads @Catsandbooks
I really liked the lyricism of this story and how the folklore tales were used as metaphors for dealing with mental health struggles. Just a beautiful book!
This was also my #doublespin for April @TheAromaofBooks

Wow, this book was something. The teenage experiences of two Black children living with depression, trauma, and being different all told in verse. Through it all fairy tales were woven in. I loved it. #RiseUpReads @Catsandbooks

This was an adorable foodie NA / YA romance about a food blogger in Saigon and the college freshman studying abroad to try to reconnect with her culture and family. Sweet and full of mouthwatering descriptions of food.

Listening to the audiobook was absolutely the right choice, because I got to hear the Vietnamese words and sentences how the really sound. And it's a beautiful language. I loved the glimpse of Vietnamese culture (and food!) I got through this book. The plot itself is a typical romance, also exactly what I wanted and needed (escape is needed right now).

Kenyazero Good to know about the audiobook! Thanks for sharing. I‘m looking forward to this one, it looks adorable. 3w
Jari-chan @Kenyazero It is adorable 🥰 Hope you'll like it too 3w

Picked this based on title alone. It was worth it. The twists are good and the build up to them is well written.

OK, I think this is my last book to review for April. This one was for #RiseUpReads & I loved the lyrical verse it was written in. Using fairytale & folklore room around the world to talk about clinical depression is such a creative way to talk about a difficult subject, especially for young adults. I enjoyed reading it & might listen to the audiobooks as I think that would be a powerful way to experience the prose. 💜💜💜

TheBookHippie I loved this read last year and the reread was just as good! 1mo
