Please check your trigger warning before reading this book, it is dark and parts of it are truly upsetting but it is a beautiful story full of grief, heartbreak, healing and love.
Wyn wants to die, after waking up in a hospital with her brother crying over her after trying to take her own life she agree to go to a rehab facility. This facility is anything but conventional so much so that her roommate is a boy named Liam. Liam craves pain to feel alive while Wyn feels nothing inside. Can they help each other grow stronger and fight their mental illnesses or will they destroy each other. Throw in another boy and a mystery of missing patients and you have so many twists that the story keeps you intrigued every step of the way.
I cried multiple times throughout this book, the way the author captures grief and depression is so compelling and makes you feel all the emotions. I was intrigued from the very first chapter and at no point did I lose interest. The characters are damaged but still likeable and you truly are routing for them. They go through remarkable characters growth but at a pace that feels realistic, everything isn't just instantly cured and they face set backs that derail their course.
If you are looking for a good cry and feel mentally capable of reading this book I would definitely recommend it. It does deal with heavy topics so check in with yourself throughout and be ready to cry.
You will never guess the plot twist that this story has! It’s a really heartbreaking story that will leave rent free in my mind forever! If you haven’t read it RUN buy it, you’ll love it!!
I can genuinely say I haven't read anything like "The Fabric of Our Souls" before. I don't think "enjoyed" would be the proper word I would use, but I can say (just personally in my own currently mental heath state & journey) that I enjoyed it for what it was; dark, soul crushing, and hauntingly beautiful. The author's note in the beginning set genuine expectations. The characters, Wynn and Langston specifically, really spoke to my own soul. ❤️🩹 I do think this story will have a lasting impression on me and I wish this was the kind of book I could easily recommend to EVERYONE, but mental health is important and I hope anyone who decides to pick this up does so with great care.
First, I appreciate the author being upfront about the intent of their book. Author K.M. Moronova has a detailed note in “Fabric of Our Souls” at the front of the story, along with a list of TW/CWs that was quite thorough. And for sensitive readers, the story should be avoided.
I’ve read several institution/rehab-based stories, but “Fabric of Our Souls” had this element of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and a dark romance thriller. K.M Moronova’s writing brought me into the character’s world without question or confusion. I was eager to continue with every chapter.
I loved how Wynn and Liam developed from the beginning and enjoyed the mystery component of “Fabric of Our Souls.” There is a spin-off story coming out soon that has me quite intrigued.
Wow. What a hauntingly beautiful and sad book. So much of this story made me sad. I felt so many emotions reading this. It was fantastic.
How K.M. Moronova managed to make a book about grief and depression.. spicy??? is incredible. I don’t think I’ve read a more beautifully written book. Liam was by far such a fascinating character/love interest. From the moment you are introduced to him you are going to want more of him.
If you’re looking for a read that’ll suck you in from page one AND some perfectly added spice, this book- 100%.
Thanks so much NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing)
I love Liam’s protectiveness and admire Wynn’s sass. Both characters pull you into their world, Moronova has the ability to capture you so deeply that you breathe the journey with them. I am not going to give away any more as I want you read it for yourself, I can guarantee you will lose all concept of time when you read this story.
This book has my heart and soul LITERALLY. Everything about Fabric of our Souls is beautiful and heartbreaking, but somehow managed to put a few pieces back together.
There is not a single thing I didn't love about this. I wish I could give it 10 stars!
I really enjoyed this story about a group of misfits brought together by mental illness and connected further by a mystery that tests the mettle of their resiliance and fortitude, found family and strength of self.
I loved the characters and the atmospheric setting, the mood that rises from the pages and holds you in it's grip until the thrall of the novel has you captivated and consuming the story until it's end.
Did I go through all of the emotions while reading this? Yes, yes I did. I’m not even mad at it. This book was easily one of my favorites I’ve read in quite some time.

I found this author on TT and she commented on a post that said “if you want to sob over a book, you should try the fabric of our souls” - I have never run to good reads so fast to add to my TBR. This story was so real, raw, emotional, tragic, beautiful. It had me feeling all the feelings. Please please pleaseeeee check your TW and maybe wait to read this beautiful book when you are in a good place mentally.
✨The three of us were the cure. In our darkest hours, in the darkest of nights, we are the light.✨
Thank you KM Moronova for writing Wynn, Liam’s and Lanston’s story; they will stay with me for a long time 🖤 (and I’m ready for you to wreck me again with that spin off 😉)
All she wants is to die and all he wants is to feel pain to live, they are complete opposites yet end up as roommates in an unorthodox rehabilitation center. Wyn feels like a burden to everyone in her life and after her latest attempt at her own life she agrees to get treated. What she doesn't realize is that the mysterious guy she met at the hospital the day before who pretended to be a nurse is her new roommate and he's determined to get her to want to live. Liam hurts himself to feel pain, pain that makes him feel alive. After his own tragic past he yearns to live, yet doesn't understand why anyone would want to die. When he meets Wyn he knows, she's the one for him, if only he could get her to see he's the cure for her just as she is the cure for him. But Liam's own demons are coming back to hunt him down... and Wyn might be in the crossfires. This is a dark romance and it definitely was a unique one. I really enjoyed it!
