    Stitching the Soul by Courtney Peppernell | ARC Review

    5th August 2020

    • Format: eARC
    • Page Count: 288 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐ (2/5)

    This is my first time trying Peppernell’s poems. I love her novel Keeping Long Island, which I am sure I talked too much about already. Unfortunately, I am unsure what I am feeling after finishing Stitching the Soul.

    Keeping Long Island by Courtney Peppernell

    8th June 2018
    Cover of Keeping Long Island (Courtney Peppernell)

    Keeping Long Island by Courtney Peppernell

    • Publisher: Pepper Books, 2017
    • Genre: Romance, LGBTQ+
    • Format: Ebook
    • Page Count: 268 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

    This book deserves so much more attention! I finished it in less than a day and was left feeling very, very loved. It was written in a similar format as The Perks of Being a Wallflower was, as both protagonists dealt with mental health issues by writing letters to strangers, but that is not to say that these books were at all alike in contents.

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
