- Found Family - Mental Health Rep - Forced Proximity - Suspense - Enemies to Lovers -⚠️ Content Warning: This book is dark and the content can be triggering to some. I would not recommend reading it If you are uncomfortable with reading about suicidal ideations/attempts, self harm or violence.I absolutely loved this book, it was heartbreakingly beautiful and it had me SOBBING. The characters, the writing, and the plot had SO much depth. It had me so freaking emotional (let me know where to send my therapy invoices to @k.m.moronova), and I loved every minute of it. But, again please keep your mental health in mind when diving in, this book is not for everyone.After an attempt to take her own life, Wynn is sent to Harlow Sanctum. An unorthodox rehab that places you with a roomate based on their treatment plan. And her roommate? None other than the mysterious man she met the night she woke up in the hospital.What starts as a hostile situation between the pair, eventually unravels into something deeper. Together they face the demons that plague them, but can two broken people truly save each other?

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Spice/Romance: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Writing/Prose: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.25Dark psychological thrillers have been my jam lately, and The Fabric of Our Souls by K.M. Moronova didn’t disappoint. From page one, this book pulls you deep into its gritty, twisted world—and doesn’t let go.I really appreciated the disclaimer at the beginning, where the author clearly states this isn’t a self-help book and openly acknowledges the romanticization of mental illness and rehabilitation. That small note helped shift my mindset going in and should honestly be a standard in books tackling these themes.We’re introduced to Wynn, our FMC, who wants to die—and is dying, thanks to a terminal heart condition. She calls herself a villain and wears her nihilism like armor. She’s clever, dark, and painfully relatable, especially in how her depression strains her relationship with her brother James. As someone who struggles with anxiety and depression, her internal battle felt all too familiar.Then there’s Liam—introduced through a strange, offbeat interaction. He’s cold, cryptic, and unsettling, with an odd sense of humor. He doesn’t always make sense, but there’s something magnetic about him. He seems fascinated by Wynn, though his behavior is often distant, even cruel. Their chemistry is intense, confusing, and impossible to look away from.Harlow Sanctum, the facility where they meet, is just as much a character as anyone else. Its eerie atmosphere, open-door policy, and mysterious backstory add layers of unease and tension. Wynn and Liam ending up as roommates is a wild but strangely believable setup in this world.Wynn’s dark humor is a lifeline through the spiral. The way she jokes from a place of pain really hit home—it’s a defense mechanism I know well. Liam, too, has layers. He flips between blunt honesty and aloof distance, but his emotional bluntness reads true to how some people living with mental illness navigate the world—raw, and without room to sugarcoat things.Every side character brings something interesting to the table, but Lanston stood out most. He’s a bright spot, the grounding force in the chaos. The found family that forms between him, Liam, and Wynn was one of my favorite parts of the book. It felt earned in a way that only trauma-forged bonds can.There’s an emotional push and pull between Wynn and Liam that feels like a knife’s edge. They hurt each other, sometimes brutally—physically, emotionally, and mentally—but still manage to find pockets of tenderness. It’s complicated, messy, and achingly real. The sadness they carry is heavy and constant, and I often found myself thinking, This could have been me. That longing to be “better” or “normal” is heartbreakingly familiar.And let’s not forget: the spice? Intense. Some of the scenes between Wynn and Liam are scorching, raw, and not for the faint of heart—but they fit the emotional weight behind their connection.The last 15% of the book is utterly heartbreaking. Truly, it almost hurt to finish. There is a happily ever after—but it’s hard-earned and laced with pain. That ending left me aching in the best way.What I loved most is that healing isn’t portrayed as a straight line. It’s ugly, complicated, nonlinear—and sometimes, it’s just about finding the one person or place that gives you enough safety to even begin. Wynn and Liam’s story reflects that beautifully.And one name I will not forget: Crosby. That demon haunts this book.I loved every gut-wrenching, soul-aching second of The Fabric of Our Souls. And now, I’m waiting (im)patiently for Lanston’s story—because that man deserves a love story of his own.

At 26, her heart’s a ticking time bomb, and the urge to shuffle off this mortal coil is stronger than ever. After a botched attempt at the ol’ un-aliving, she finds herself face to face with Liam, who’s not just any nurse, but a whole new character in her twisted saga.Enter James, Wynn’s brother, who, instead of a heartfelt reunion, ships her off to the Harlow Sanctum—a place where rules are about as loose as Wynn’s grip on reality. Sharing a room with a guy? No big deal. Especially when said guy happens to be Liam, the not-so-surprising ‘nurse’ from before. Wynn and Liam form a bond tighter than a straitjacket, each determined to save the other from the darkness lurking within.Now, buckle up for a rollercoaster of emotions, because this story’s heavier than a bag of anvils. Mental illness and self-harm are front and center, so consider this your trigger warning. But amidst the darkness, there’s a twisted romance brewing, and Liam’s on a mission to rescue Wynn from her own demons. And let’s not forget about Lanstan, who adds a whole new layer of complexity to the mix.But hold onto your hats, folks, because this tale takes some unexpected detours into thriller territory. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, the plot throws you for a loop. And while Wynn may be a bit confused about where exactly she’s headed, one thing’s for sure: this ride is anything but boring.The author’s writing? It’s like a punch to the gut—in the best possible way. You’ll feel every emotion coursing through the characters, and you’ll probably question your own sanity along the way. Plus, there’s a morbid humor woven throughout that’s as refreshing as it is twisted. Who knew mental illness could be so damn entertaining?So, if you’re ready to dive headfirst into the depths of Wynn Coldfox’s mind, buckle up. By the time you reach the end of this wild ride, you’ll be sobbing like a baby. And if you’re like Wynn, grappling with mental health issues on a level that would make a psychiatrist break a sweat, then consider this book your new best friend. But if you’re more on the delicate side, maybe stick to something a bit lighter. This one’s not for the faint of heart—or the faint of mind, for that matter.“𝑰’𝒎 𝒃𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒔.
