She yearns for nothing more than a “shipwreck of the soul,” Samuel Webster, he wrote the novel Laura loves.

A mixture of fun, dark, cultishly cliquey girls, and feelings every adolescent shelters themself beneath. This book will take you to places you haven’t felt in a long time, if ever. The vibes are marketed towards sapphic dark academia and hearing those words I come running! While I think this was a little underplayed in the grand scheme of things, there was still enough for me to leave it satisfied. The ending while tough to live through, took a dark and unceremonious turn. There’s the main character is I found myself enjoying her way of thinking and how she describes the atmosphere around herself. She’s poetic, naive, looking at the world through giant wondrous doe eyes almost. And as we saw this happens to be her downfall when coming into contact with these girls and the world around them. Very intense and I think anyone looking for something artistic yet literary would enjoy this!
