Your Fault: 2 (Culpable)

Product Information

I felt for Grace, with her unrelenting guilt over the tragic hit and run death of her younger sister Hope, who was in her care at the time. She also had the spectre of a schizophrenic grandmother in her life, making it easy for both her and me to believe she was devolving into paranoia and hallucinations, but there were enough people around her who knew her vulnerabilities to make me hesitate to categorize her as another unreliable narrator, and ask myself whether she was being gaslighted by some manipulative person in her life. There is even an appearance by a sleazy male author who shows up to do a book signing, but is ousted as a creep. His assistant quits and she and Jo kind of flirt with each other. Rina and Imogen become friends in the bathroom after Rina freaks out. Then the band of misfit teens band together to throw an event to raise money to save the book store complete with someone saying " Damn the Man! Save Wild Nights" And I absolutely loved the setting of the bookstore. I think that the author did an amazing job at truly making this bookstore come to life. It was almost like it was its own character and I loved the fact that we had all of these very different characters who came together to tell its story. aminah mae safi’s this is all your fault is an ode to indie bookstores, strong women, and poetry. this story, told over the course of one day from the perspectives of three girls, will surely warm the hearts of book lovers of all ages! The anxiety rep was absolutely on point for me; the frequent feeling to puke, the constant horror of actually puking, and the constricted chest that can only breathe again after puking—I know I'm being highly specific of what impressed me but it's the highest point for me to relate with; rest all details were anyway perfect. The portrayal of depression isn't something I can comment on but it definitely helped me connect with Imogen on a deeper level so the emotional understanding through a bumpy mental health was clearly felt.

Set over the course of one day, Aminah Mae Safi's This Is All Your Fault is a smart and voice-driven YA novel that follows three young women determined to save their indie bookstore. The depression and anxiety rep managed to capture the essence of what I feel like it is to be part of this generation quite well in my opinion and I felt really seen in that regard. 🥺

i received a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. all opinions below are my own. Sound issues, such as if you can’t hear the sound, out-of-sync sound or sound breaking up Recording BT TV I was surprised with the outcome of the book, it wasn’t what I was expecting & again, I was not quite sure how plausible I felt it was. Grace lost her little sister to a tragic accident when she was younger & is haunted by this everyday. Him having his friends reading his work and me... what if I didn't like it? What if I thought it was rubbish? How do I give a diplomatic review?!

Unable to sleep, she starts to wonder if she is losing her mind? Is she going mad, inheriting the schizophrenia from her grandmother that has become a macabre family myth? This book has a premise that sounds very simple, but the story it tells is so beautiful and profound. You guys, I cannot make this up. I am literally shaking, I am so angry. Empire Records is one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME. I know the movie scene by scene by scene. I cannot fathom how this book got through dozens and dozens of readers, editors, etc and nobody said, "Hey, this is too much like the movie and is treading on dangerous ground." This was so skillfully done I couldn’t be sure, and the ending is absolutely one I wouldn’t have seen coming in a million years. A definite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me. This is of course in general an incredibly timely topic in our society but especially something that keeps coming up in the bookish sphere and I really loved that Aminah Mae Safi made this a theme in the novel because it is a very realistic, sadly all too common thing that might get talked about a lot in certain social media circles, but other than that is often an aspect that gets ignored.This would have to be my favourite Safi book. I loved it from the very beginning. The characters were all different and well rounded. I liked that their differences brought them together and how the unlikeliest people make the best friends. This spans over a day in an independent bookstore that’s being lost to financial greed. But it’s also so much more than that, it’s about personal struggle and the struggles that we can’t see that people go through inside of themselves and that they hide from everyone else. There is humour and passionate personalities and who all feel that this bookstore is their second home. Their home away from home.

AB - Set in a 1960s English new town, Your Fault charts one boy’s childhood from first memory to first love. A year older in each chapter, Peter’s story is told to him by his future self as he attempts to recreate the optimism and futurism of the 1960s, and to reveal how that utopianism fares as it emerges into the Seventies. It’s an untold story of British working class experience, written with extraordinary precision and tenderness. From the manager who is a supportive woman to these three main characters who believe in their individuality, their dreams, and themselves, the girls definitely rule in this book. The girls are the ones deciding to do all they can to save this bookstore and it's a pleasure to read about Imogen's mother and the love for poetry that has passed down from an immigrant parent to the little girl named after the heroine in Cymbeline—one of Shakespeare's plays.

The start of this book is slow burn. It gives a lot of wonderful little gems as it shows you about the characters. While I generally like a faster burn however this just had something to it that made it very interesting. The book is all about fault, blame, lies, secrets and the past racing up to you, tapping you on the shoulder and making itself known, and changing everything
