Feature & Follow #3: I Have An Ugly Cry Face

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!



What was the last book that made you cry?


  This book... Oh my gosh, this book. Some of you already know this, but for those of you who don't: I live in a rural town in East Tennessee at the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. Like many places you hear about around here, my town has a huge problem with drug and substance abuse. People that I graduated from high school with (only 8 years ago) have died from their addictions. And if they haven't died, they're a shell of their former self. It's truly an epidemic.

  Beneath a Meth Moon follows the story of Laurel as she is sucked into the world of being a meth addict. Like I said in my review, I know Laurel. There are thousands of Laurels in my town. This was book was so powerful at getting across the reality of addiction.

  There were countless times I'd have to stop reading this book to cry. So many things that Laurel experiences, I've seen mirrored with friends that have fallen into the world of meth. It was heartbreaking. If I could, I'd pass this book out along the streets of my town. It's that important to me.

Which book made you break out your ugly cry face last?

    1. Me, too. I almost passed it up in the library until I saw that stunning cover. It makes you pause and actually look at the book. Thanks for stopping by!

  2. I grew up right on the border of Tennessee! And I also grew up (after I moved) in a rural town, although our high school tragedy of choice seems to be drag racing :-/. This book seems super intense (which means I will probably never read it because FEELS. I can't handle them haha).

    1. Hi, long lost neighbor! Hah. There were a few kids inspired by Fast & Furious at my school, but drugs were hands down the big disruption. It is intense! If you don't like the feels, I'd skip it! Thanks for stopping by and following! I've returned the favor.
