palmetto trail: 11.11.2015

























Milton and I have a yearly tradition of going up to the old trestle on the Palmetto Trail to see the leaves, followed by a stop at Little Mountain for antiques.  This year we added the Frayed Knot as our dinner stop to quench a fried oyster craving.

read: love me back by merritt tierce


3.5 stars, rounding up to four because I'm torn. It is so real, so gritty, and so hard that sometimes you want to turn it away. There were times where I wanted to put it down and never pick it up again. It was a lot like a bad relationship in the way that is often tiring and tough to get through, but the bits of beauty that peek in are enough to make you hold on longer than you maybe even want to. The book itself almost seems as self-destructive as the main character. Tierce is bold and honest and frank and not afraid to take you all the way there. Her writing never shies away. Still wrestling with this one.
