The Road
I’ve been OBSESSED with The Last of Us on HBO, and I heard that The Road by Cormac McCarthy was a great book to read if you like the show. That’s all I needed to hear in order to pick it up.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Well well well… if it isn’t one of the internet’s most favorite queer adult stories. I am so late to the game to review this and honestly, I don’t think I’m going to say anything that hasn’t been said before or really contribute much to the conversation as a whole…. but I’m still going toContinue reading “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo”

CW: Suicide, Depression, Anxiety. Given how much this book focuses on these themes, I felt it necessary to bring them up right away.

Take Me Apart
Classified as a psychological thriller, I think this did not do this book any favors. I kept reading expecting suspense and tension to be built in the mystery, but it wasn’t there.
