"contemporary texts aren't ever as meaningful/artistic/etc as classics." WRONG! Here are a few prime examples of beautiful modern writing:
"All I can do is stand on the curb and say 'Sorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.'" - Richard Siken, Crush
“They both know the looping shape of pain—it changes and quiets but never ends. There is a strange comfort in its constancy. Memories of what was lost are also reminders of what was held.” - Lily Brooks-Dalton, The Light Pirate
"Cold came over me, but I was warm inside with guilt. The feeling nuzzled against me. It pressed against my heart like a soft animal and slept in my life." - Marie Rutkoski, The Midnight Lie
"Surviving's ugly work, and here I am, so hideously alive." - Trista Mateer, Girl, Isolated
“I've taken what they've given me and turned it into a mockery of them. I will turn it into what destroys them. If they want me to be a monster one step closer to God, that's fine. In what world was their God ever a benevolent one?” - Andrew Joseph White, Hell Followed With Us

“A lover? Maybe. Something tender, anyway. But tender like a bruise.”
― Marie Rutkoski, The Winner's Kiss
BETWEEN THE DESIRE AND THE SPASM Chapter 3: To Death's Other Kingdom
She got the letter from James the following week. It was neat and written in Phthalo blue ink and it clawed at her throat. Lily, I’m sorry I didn’t write sooner. Hoping you’ll still take me up on those drinks. I’m free all this week after six, Saturday afternoon, and anytime Sunday. Let me know which day/time works for you. You pick the place. Regards, James Potter

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🪶🐍🩸👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏼
I read this book in one setting. It was hard to put down, and I wanted to see where everything went, what would happen, would Nirrim and Sid get together, what were the secrets the world was hiding and omg it did not disappoint.
I loved the way the two met, and the banter between them that followed. I loved how Nirrim realised that she was in fact in love with a woman and how she went about it. I loved the scene with Lillian. I know this was a YA book, but I guess the only disappointment for me was the fade to black scenes.
I really liked the plot, the world, the twists and turns. It was a great book and I can't wait to read book two.
