A SEMI DEFINITIVE LIST OF WORST NIGHTMARES by Krystal Sutherland

October 25, 2017

Book cover & rating - A SEMI DEFINITIVE LIST OF WORST NIGHTMARES by Krystal Sutherland

A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares was yet another book from Krystal Sutherland that made me cry. Something about the way she writes and crafts her characters make them so relatable. The emotions are so palpable, it’s impossible not to feel something for the characters. I think that’s what made this book particularly great. There was nuance in the way mental health was dealt with several times over.

A QUIET KIND OF THUNDER by Sara Barnard

January 15, 2017

Book cover & rating – A QUIET KIND OF THUNDER by Sara BarnardBefore A Quiet Kind of Thunder, I had never read a book involving a character with selective mutism, nor a character who is deaf. It didn’t occur to me previously that I hadn’t until I had the opportunity to review this book. I was a little unsure if I would like it because it’s primarily a romance novel. On the flip side, Sara Barnard wrote this and I really enjoyed her debut, Beautiful Broken Things, so I was still curious.

· Categories: Fiction Keywords: ableism, accidents, alcoholism, anxiety, bi- or multiracial characters, british authors, dating, deafness, depression, disability, discrimination, diversity, divorced parents, friendship, grief, high school, hospital, mental health, racism, running, selective mutism
