🌟 Review🌟 - - 18+ 🚨CHECK TW🚨 - - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I’m going to be completely upfront and say I don’t think this book is for everyone. I usually post my reviews the same day I read the book but felt compelled to properly absorb what I had read. I myself found this book especially hard to read at certain times because of the subject matter. That being said; to say that this was an astounding read would be an unequivocal understatement. The story follows fifteen-year-old Vanessa Wye and Forty-two-year-old Jacob Strane and their “transgressions” together. Through interspersed chapters of Vanessa’s past and present we get a first hand recount of her affair with her English teacher whom she still believes did nothing wrong 17 years later. My Dark Venessa delves into the power imbalance, manipulation tactics, and coherence of the affair and the after affects it has on Venessa and the people she loves. What I found so profound in this novel were the thought provoking and tragic revaluations and Anecdotes from Both past and present Vanessa. @kateelizabethrussell first novel is a riveting testament on manipulation and heartbreak from abuse. This novel deeply effected me, in a way I’m afraid I cannot properly put into words. I’m going to share a few quotes from the novel below that particularly shook me. 🚨SPOILER WARNING🚨 “To be groomed is to be loved and handled like a precious, delicate thing.” “Groomed. I repeat the word over and over, try to understand what it means, but all I can think of is the lovely warm feeling I’d get when he stroked my hair.” “At the time I was how old? I count in my head: six, a first grader, barely a person and nine years away from being in bed with him, squirming under his hands as he told me to calm down” - - #mydarkvanessa #mydarkvanessareview #bookreview #mydarkvanessabook #sadbooks #hardtoread #novel #teacherstudent #tropes #manipulation #illegal #books #bookiesagainstalgorithm #algorithm #vanessa #kateelizabethrussell #bookreviewer #bookreviews #bookreviewersofinstagram #mustread #tbr #reading #bookstagram #books #booklover #book #bookworm #bookstagrammer #reading #bookish #bookaddict (at Bookstagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmM4udsPZIq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Omg thanks Barnes & Noble! For the next two days you can get 25% off my upcoming book with the code PREORDER25
One woman who read it said it helped her process her own grief over a lost loved one. Another said she reads so many books she doesn’t always get invested, but this one moved her to tears.
Nerds. Cooking. Platonic loving friendships. Good Family stepdad/stepson relations. Snow, coziness. Heaps of Lord of the Rings reference. And in the end…? Heartbreak. But also hope.
… are you really ready for this book? 👀

i js wanna feel. i dont know what. actually it's sadness I want to feel. i have the urge to read a book that destroys SHATTERS RUINS me completely. something to make me forget the world. give me that, give me heartache. but no, every sad book is so cliche and wattpad written. such a shame.

The reality is, what you imagined will never happen, and what you remembered is already done.
