Finally allowed myself a Book Haul again after having a really bad week so far hoping these four lgbt books cure my mood 🤞📚🏳️🌈
"The Rules Of Seeing" actually is a copy I won at readersfirst and am supposed to review once I'm finished but the others I bought with my own money ™️ which means I'm relatively broke again

The Rules Of Seeing by Joe Heap - Review
I received this book as an advanced review copy through a prize draw for readersfirst.
3.5/5 Stars.
This book has two perspectives that eventually run into each other, Nova and Kate. They don't meet like "normal" people do: they meet at the neurological department of a hospital. Kate is there for a head injury she sustained when she tripped backwards, but claims her husband Tony had nothing to do with it. Nova is there because she is just learning to see. After an experimental operation she can see for the first time in her life, theoretically, if it wasn't for the fact that seeing is a learned skill.
The two women become acquaintances, friends, and eventually girlfriends, while helping each other through the problems of their lives.
But what sounds like a sweet lgbt romance has some very very dark sides and at times the novel feels more like a thriller than literary fiction or romance. There are some MAJOR TRIGGER WARNINGS I need to make you aware of, although they are slightly spoilery: alcoholism, drugs, medicine abuse, homophobia, domestic violence (emotional, physical, sexual), violence and torture, stalking, attempted sexual assault, attempted suicide, animal cruelty. I think that's all but if you have any specific questions I can check for you!
The lgbt representation is totally not essential to the plot which makes it better, because real life people have no reason to be gay, they simply are.
The novel is disorientating and difficult at times but I mean that in the best possible way.
It's both fluffy and hard to stomach but if you aren't sensitive about any of these topics then I can totally recommend checking it out.
B O O K R E V I E W : . How To Play Dead by @jacquiannc_ . Rating: 4/5 stars. Goodreads: 3.73 🌟 . Firstly, I would like to thank Readers First and NetGalley for gifting me an ARC for an honest review. . This book comes with a huge trigger warning surrounding domestic abuse. I think Ward handles the topic well and is providing insight into the lives of survivors and victims to educate readers and spread awareness. The story follows the MC Ria who helps run a refuge for women that finds herself being stalked by someone from her past. . I enjoyed the small chapters, titled, Tanya, throughout the book as it was a piece of the puzzle that we didn't truly understand until nearer the end of the book. It was a glimpse into the life of someone who is domestically abused that really zoomed into the reality of the lives that Ria was helping. I found that Ria was very well rounded. She wasn't just a woman being stalked. She was a wife, mother, daughter (superwoman) which made the story feel really well rounded. . This isn't a conventional thriller but I was definitely finding it harder to fall to sleep. Every noise in my house became 'someone' and I commend Ward for this sense of tension that seems to run throughout the book. I did guess one of the small twists that happened nearer the end. I was sickened by the abusers and my heart broke for the abused. A well written thriller that spreads awareness for those who are voiceless. . #howtoplaydead #jacquelineward #readersfirst #netgalley #amylittleford #amylittlefordauthor #bookreviews #bookstagram #bookreview #books #bookstagrammer #booklover #booksofinstagram #bookish #bibliophile #bookrecommendations #bookreviewer #book #reading #readersofinstagram #bookblogger #booksbooksbooks #bookcommunity #bookclub #reviews #review #bookaholic #booklovers #goodreads #bookphotography (at Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKPDNtFEJr/?igshid=wfpwg8ki5tye
