Finally reading two of the most intimidating books on my TBR 📚 Read It or Unhaul It Reading Vlog

I recently read The Everlasting by Alexi Harrow, which has explicit sex in it, and I thought it was great. Five stars. Amazing book.

I loved many aspects of it, but unfortunately those scenes and the way women were written persistently through this entire story just really detracted from my experience. And as much as I'd love to be able to, well, I don't know if I'd love to be able to.

I appreciate the craft that goes into creating the same feelings in the reader as in the protagonist and I think it's more effective at exploring its themes for that reason. But again, not necessarily a fun read and I would caution people to maybe save this for a time when they aren't already grappling with existential dread or your own mortality because it is quite heavy even though it's very short and a very quick read.
