Darling Venom

Minor spoilers


I really enjoyed this book. I thought the author handled the grief of the characters really well.

Although, there is one scene that almost lost me. Where Charlotte go to see Tate, as a patient, and has an orgasm during her exam. (he is a ob/gyn) I mean, Does that happen, I have never had that happen, he was obviously doing a very thorough exam then....lol.

But all in all, I don't think you will regret this one.

What a book. It's a tough one to review because of the content. This is a book about loss and grief and learning to forgive yourself. It beautiful and raw and hits all the emotions. It is a slow burn so if you are wanting a story that focuses on the ‘fun times' this isn't going to be the book for you. Charlotte is sunshine to Tate's grumpy and it fits them perfectly. I loved Charlotte's progression and growth through this story, it really is her story.

The ending. Oh man, the ending.

I will probably edit this in a bit to say more.

I listened to the audiobook, which is performed by Ava Erickson, Sebastian York, and Jacob Morgan. I think JM does around 20% the rest is Ava and Sebastian. Ava Erickson stole the show. She was phenomenal. And Sebastian plays grief-stricken characters so well, and he didn't disappoint.

TW: Suicide. Depression. Grief.

this book put my brain in a mental fog that makes me question life itself. i loved it.
