Description
An unexpected text from her ex-girlfriend shatters the fragile peace of Elise’s delicate life. Standing at the crossroads of her future, Elise succumbs to the dark desires of her heart, stumbling through the fog of uncertainty toward a past she had long since forsaken. What will she find in the bittersweet nostalgia of a town she hasn’t seen for a decade? How will she survive the impossible decisions that await her?
Decadence is a raw and devastating exploration of love in its many forms: the burning wrath of eros, the gentle kiss of agape, and everything in between. Told through the eyes of Elise—whose own mind is often her worst enemy—this character-driven novel explores the multifaceted beauty and pain of human connection. Step into a story that dares you to sit with both the haunting bliss and existential discomfort of what it means to be human.

This book was so heartbreaking beautiful.
It reminded me of 5 feet apart, but sapphic and only one is sick. I wouldn't have been able to be Elise with figuring out how to love and lose Lily and leave Viri to go deal with life and then go back? Wild.

Decadence is the kind of book that lingers in your mind long after you’ve turned the last page. Elise’s journey back to a past she thought she had left behind is both deeply personal and painfully universal, exploring love in all its messy, complicated forms. The writing is stunning—sometimes poetic, sometimes gut-wrenchingly raw—but always honest. What I loved most was how real Elise felt; her struggles, her desires, and even her self-doubt made her one of the most human characters I’ve read in a long time. If you like character-driven stories that make you feel everything, this is a great read.

This is a book I will remember for a long time. Don't ask me to explain the book, it is more about the feelings you have while reading it. It is completely crushing but somehow so beautiful. The feelings are so believable and you cannot stop reading even if the story and timeline switch is complicated at times. I highly recommend this book.
