🏅Top Shelf Tuesday 🏅

Happy Tuesday everyone!

This week’s pick is:

My Dark Vanessa
by Kate Elizabeth Russell
Paperback
Published by William Morrow, March 2020

A much anticipated read for me and I finally got to it in January.   The cover is beautiful and it captivated me immediately.   I will be honest and say that I first picked this up without knowing any details of the plot.  I saw a quote from Stephen King, “A well constructed package of dynamite.” and felt I needed to check this out.  Not Disappointed!  

Definitely one of the best books I have read but also one of the hardest to read content wise. Devastatingly beautiful. Enthralled … how can something so horrible be written so beautifully.  It broke my heart for the young girl who didn’t understand that she was not at fault and who just wanted to be special. It angered me, the adults that did nothing and turned their backs in silence.  It left me with so many different feelings at the end, I love that the most.
