My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell
5.0
Truly remarkable.
This novel consumed me as much as I did it. In a way, it was unhealthy to be so invested in this story but so much of me found itself in Vanessa it was hard to not think about it whenever I wasn't flipping through its pages.
What Vanessa goes through in this novel is so much, that it feels like that whenever reading the novel. Like so much. But it's necessary to do so, and for me it was necessary to see what happened to Vanessa at the end of the novel.
Obviously, trigger warnings galore, but I assume everyone knows by now the content of this book. For me, it felt like reliving something familiar yet blocked off, and while this will affect everyone in a different way, for me it just felt necessary.
So so good and the writing is so so good I can't wait to read whatever Russel writes next.
