Chosen Family by Madeleine Gray review – friends, lovers or something in between?

omg I'm totally obsessed with the way this book is structured πŸ“šπŸ’‘ it's like, Nell and Eve's relationship is a puzzle that Gray slowly uncovers throughout the story, and each new piece you add makes you wonder what's going on in their heads. The timeline jumps around like crazy, but it's so smooth and effortless – I love how it mirrors the way people's lives are all messy and complicated 🀯

and can we talk about Eve's queer identity for a sec? 😊 Gray handles it with such care and sensitivity, making it feel like this beautiful, wild thing that's just happening to her. The way she writes about community and found family is giving me LIFE πŸ’–

I also love how this book subverts the whole 'relationship novel' trope – it's not all sappy romance and happily-ever-afters, you know? πŸ˜’ It's like, these women are messy and complicated, just like everyone else. And that tension between Nell and Eve is literally palpable – I was on edge the whole time wondering what they were going to do next πŸ’₯
 
I'm still on the edge of my seat after reading about Madeleine Gray's Chosen Family 🀯 I mean, can you believe how much it resonates with your teenage years? Remember those angsty days at school when everything seemed so dramatic? πŸ˜‚ Yeah, that's what this book is all about. But, in a good way, you know? It's like looking back on old memories and realizing how complex relationships can be.

I'm totally loving the theme of female friendships taking center stage in this novel πŸ€— It's like, we've been conditioned to see love stories as romance, but what about when that's not possible? When there's only friendship left? It's beautiful, you know?

And I gotta say, the way Madeleine Gray explores the complexities of human connection is just, wow πŸ’­ What we're seeing in this book isn't always easy to confront – the fears, the doubts, the vulnerability. But that's what makes it so real.

It's not often that I come across a novel that makes me think about all the things I've taken for granted in my relationships πŸ€” But Chosen Family is definitely one of them. If you haven't read it yet, trust me and give it a try!
 
OMG 🀩 I'm literally obsessed with this novel "Chosen Family" by Madeleine Gray!!! It's like, the perfect exploration of complex female relationships and the power of found family πŸ’•πŸ’— The way the author weaves together themes of love, loss, and vulnerability is just masterful 😍 I mean, who hasn't felt that palpable sense of terror when you're worried about losing someone you love? 🀯 But what really gets me is how the novel shines a light on the horrors of adolescence without shying away from the tough stuff πŸ’ͺ And can we talk about Eve's journey towards self-discovery? It's like, so beautifully rendered and empowering 🌈 The only thing that's missing is an emoji to express how much I'm fangirling over this book πŸ˜†
 
I don’t usually comment but I was really moved by this book review πŸ™Œ. What's up with the Medusa myth? It feels like a lot of pressure being placed on these characters to keep their emotions locked away. Like, can't they just be vulnerable for once? 😩 The author does a great job highlighting the complexities of female friendships and how hard it can be to navigate those relationships. I love that the reviewer mentions Tae and Marcus as a source of comfort for Eve - it's like, isn't friendship supposed to be all about supporting each other through tough times? πŸ€—
