For me it was Gerald’s Game by Stephen King. I think it’s a fantastic novel with amazing character development. The main character is extremely realistic and well written. Despite the seemingly silly premise, I was invested throughout the entire thing. The main character’s development is really what sells it for me.
That being said, I am absolutely not reading it again anytime soon. There are two scenes in particular(if you’ve the book I’m sure you know) that managed to make extremely uncomfortable, mortified, and disgusted. My biggest fear is being trapped and helpless, so this book really got to me. Fantastic book, I’m never picking it up again.
Either that or Lord of the Flies… Dear God.
On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous
It was so so beautifully written - like a poem from beginning to end that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was like walking through a hazy dream at times.
But my God did the writer’s pain and trauma emanate from every single beautifully-penned line of that book. I felt every emotion. I felt uncomfortable.
I might possibly one day read it again just for the beautiful writing but when I’m in a better state of mind.
with this book, I got up until the ahem. text message? near page 260ish and dropped it. it is beautiful but I feel like I’m not getting the book as much as I should. I found the romance a little strange at points. it really was beautiful written though. definitely a better state of mind book!!!
