Book Review: You I Lie With by Meghan Davis
A slice-of-life moment in a world falling apart.

I don't usually cry into my breakfast, but I picked this small novella up with my oatmeal and have been devastated by it.
I really appreciated the conciseness of this story - it is truly just a tiny moment in an unparalleled point in time. It is an incredible feat to tell such a devastating story in so few pages.
"Maybe an apocalypse is what they needed."
Character-driven, heart-wrenching, devastating story. Five stars.
Rating: ★★★★★
