LOVELY, DARK AND DEEP is the story of Wren who takes up residence in her father's remote artist's cabin to sink deeper into her grief. That my own heart drifts and cries, having no death It would not be crying in this dark, your sorrow, ''I could not follow your wishes, but I know

Everything else (spoiler alerts! I'll try to keep them light) is going to come after the jump! Follow me, my favorite little lambs!

Please take care of yourself first and foremost.Īlright. Wren's grief is very real and leads her down some very real, true, but dark paths. I want to slap a trigger warning on this book.I can't imagine what Wren's parents are going through during this story. I really, really appreciate a book in which the parents are trying their best, no matter what.I never felt like slapping her and telling her to get off her ass and just deal. Whoever did the font and cover work on this book? You have created one of the most lovely covers I've seen on the market in a LONG time. The typography on the front is beautiful and the typography inside is gorgeous. This is a dark, gritty, raw, aching, lovely contemporary that bridges that gap between YA and Adult Fiction. This is exactly what New Adult should be. The perfect read.īefore we go BEHIND THE JUMP, let's just establish a few things. I imagine I saw a review of it somewhere, or maybe a picture of its cover? We'll get to my love for this cover in a moment.Īnyways, for some reason, after I finished Where Things Come Back yesterday, it had just started snowing and I thought, 'I want to read that lovely dark and deep book.' So I went to the shelf (I love doing my 'work' from Barnes&Noble) and there it was, beautiful and pristine. Actually, a fellow B&N patron asked me how I had heard about the book (the conversation went like this: 'Is it a NYT Bestseller?' 'No.' 'Then how did you hear about it?' 'Um, probably the internet.' 'Oh.'). I can't remember where I first heard about this book. Last night, I read Lovely, Dark and Deep by Amy McNamara. That is to say, I understand that I'm reading a lot of books and posting a lot of reviews. One year later, I think I understand what she meant. I laughed and replied, aren't those the same thing? She shook her head. She said, I think that it's an escape method. Someone once asked me what reading was to me.
