The emotion in this book floored me.
I have seen this book talked about so much, I knew it was going to be dark but it was so much more than that.

The thriller aspect of this story was so good. I didn’t figure out the twist until it was basically unfolding, and it was so gut-wrenching that I could not look away.

I know this story will be triggering for some but I loved the realness that these characters brought to the struggle of mental health.
Wynn and Liam are so beautiful. The way that the stories intertwined was so satisfying.
My heart was pounding most of the story and the last few pages left me in tears.

The Fabric of Our Souls is perfect for lovers of dark romance, beautiful writing, thriller aspects, and heart-rending love stories.

I really don’t know what to say about this book. It wasn’t bad by any means but the overall context of the book was so sad and depressing. It all takes place in a mental institution with people that all want to off themselves and in the midst of all the sorrow a romance develops. There’s a devastating loss and a happy ending but it left me just feeling numb wondering what I had just read. I’m so confused on how I even feel about it. I didn’t like nor dislike it if that makes sense. I would recommend it as a read with the preface it’s incredibly depressing

The Fabric of our Souls had me hooked with its intense, emotional storyline!!

Wynn, at 26, feels like she has nothing to live for. After a close call lands her in the hospital, her brother takes her to Harlow Sanctum, a unique rehab facility. There, she meets Liam (for the second time!) her new roommate.

This book hit me right in the feels. It’s so intense and emotional, really showcasing into how hard dealing with mental illness can be and the tough road to recovery.

I don’t want to spoil too much, but this is such a unique and emotional read and I can't wait for book 2!

Thank you NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was absolutely breathtaking I cried , I laughed , I loved the found family aspect and how everything wrapped up I can’t wait for the second book!

I was super excited to get an arc of this after hearing so much about it, and it did not disappoint! This was such a beautiful story about grief and mental illness and connecting with others who understand you. The unconventional rehab center was a unique setting and I liked the element of mystery included as well. The connection between the three main characters was very emotional and you could really feel how deep their bond was. I knew this book was going to be sad, but it actually hit me a lot harder than I thought I would.

I normally feel the opposite, but I actually would have loved for this book to have been a bit longer. I would have liked to dive deeper into their pasts and for the relationship to develop more. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book and would recommend this if you’re looking for a good cry.

Thank you to Forever for the ARC!

I received this from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I wanted to love this. I wanted it to be a 5 ⭐️ read. It wasn’t for me unfortunately.

I knew going into this that there were triggers, but I was unaware of the plot line of this book. The characters are all mentally ill in various ways, but in a way that does feel real. As someone who has experienced major depression and suicidal tendencies, I did appreciate how Wynn explains her illness. It was very true, at least in my experience. The love triangle (that isn’t really a triangle) had me concerned, but the author did a great job navigating it so that no one was hurt (except me)… emotionally anyway. I had major beef with believability towards the end, but I realize this is fiction and it worked well with the plot so I get it. Just not my cup of tea as far as that goes. I like fiction, but in a world where everything else is realistic, I like realistic plots.

Liam is heartbreakingly broken and, just like Wynn, I wanted him to be whole again so badly. All in all, I definitely don’t regret reading it, but I wanted it to be more. I wanted more in the gaps between the last few chapters and the epilogue. 3.75⭐️but only because it really made me feel. I laughed, I cried, and I panicked. Also, why does the publisher have to change the cover?? The original cover is beautiful!

I had to sit and think about this book for a bit after finishing because while I was intrigued, and it kept me interested, there was just so much that was unbelievable about the plot and characters. This book is not for the faint of heart, it is definitely gruesome with some darker aspects and difficult topics discussed such as suicide, suicidal thoughts, self harm, murder, etc.

We start the book in a hospital room after our FMC Wynn attempts suicide, and survives. Her brother is there and almost seems put out by the fact that she is in the state that she is. Out of nowhere a nurse comes into her room to adjust or change her IV or whatever, and OF COURSE, he is just so handsome that there is no way he could be a nurse. He seems a little strange and she just can't seem to stop thinking about him. Once it's time to leave the hospital, Wynn's brother James decides that it would be best for Wynn to get the help she needs at the Harlow Institute, an inpatient clinic where she would reside until she gets better.

Upon arrival to Harlow, the director Jericho informs Wynn that the hospital is unorthodox in practice, and she doesn't understand what he means until she meets her MALE roommate who just happens to be the nurse that she suspected wasn't actually a nurse. She complains that she can't have a male roommate, and the director INSISTS that it will be good for both herself and Liam to room together. She insists she can't room with him, and he basically insinuates that they are going to have lots of sex and fall in love. A lot unravels after this, without going into more detail to spoil any more.

I wanted to like this book and while I enjoyed some aspects, and read it quickly, the unorthodox "hospital" and the mental health treatment they were receiving just didn't do it for me. Stating something is unorthodox doesn't take away from the fact that this hospital should probably be shut down. The way therapy was run, rooming with the opposite sex, letting patients do whatever they want, and also the fact that a large group of patients had gone missing while attending the hospital didn't set off any alarms and they were allowed to stay open? That's insane to me. I also kind of don't understand how Liam and Lanston continuously stated that Wynn was their cure. You're telling me that the reason you are trying to get better is for a girl you barely know??

Also, the whole Crosby thing was kind of weird to me. Like I understand it, I get it, but it seems irrational that he would just randomly show up to abuse his brother and then also murder people on the side?? How was he not caught?

Now I can say that Liam's story made me sad, and that the ending with Liam, Lanston and Wynn was heart-wrenching. I was really rooting for them all to get better.

This was insta-love, love triangle, mental health mess and I kind of like it but there were just a lot of flaws in my opinion. Of course this is a work of fiction and I definitely put that into perspective. Overall, not my fave, but I will give her other books a try!

Thank you to NetGalley, Forever, and K.M. Moronova for the eARC of The Fabric of Our Souls which is available as a reprint September 10th!

Beautiful, emotional and soul-wrenching book. The story follows Wynn, who is admitted into an unorthodox mental rehabilitation facility where she ends up meeting Liam and Lanston. Their stories are dark, depressing, and challenging with all of their mental health issues. Their story is laced with strong character development, hope, and healing. The twist in this book completely blindsided me, leaving me shocked and my heart aching. A Fantastic book! It has everything I look for in a 5-star read! If you want a deep book with heavy content that tugs on your emotions this is definitely one worth picking up!

Wow... My heart feels heavy after that. A book that heavy has no business being that damn good. It had everything I didn't know I needed or wanted.

Excuse me while I go buy the rest of Moronova's books to see what else my life has been missing.

Oh yeah, and I highly recommend checking this one out BUT check those trigger warnings because my god. Just take care of yourself when reading.

“The Fabric of our Souls is thin and worn. We must be gentle and love tirelessly.”

Wow.
This was so beautifully, tragically, magnificently sad. We knew going into this we would experience hurt, but did it have to hurt THAT BAD?!?!
Wynn tore at our heartstrings. We felt her pain and understood her mind. It doesn't take much to empathize with someone in pain, even if you haven't experienced it yourself. And for Liam, seeing her in pain, it affected him on every single level. Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. He didn't believe in much, but he believed in Wynn and the love they would share. He has his own demons to battle, but there's nothing he can't achieve if it means keeping Wynn by his side. His cure.

This was a deeply personal, deeply heavy read. Heed the content/trigger warnings carefully, and know support is out there for those that need it.

3.5⭐️

So first, check tw

I was hoping for a good sob session after finishing this book, but that didn’t happen. My heart did feel heavy by the end though.

I think the last 30% of the book was way better and kept me hooked, but because I wasn’t able to connect to the characters….I didn’t have the same anxiety I would if I was connected to them.
The book read more like a “tell me that they like one another” rather than a “show me that they like one another”. And because of that, relationships felt shallow and surprising for me.

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.
