Synopsis


Six wasn’t the hero I needed.
But he was the man I wanted.

And it was my selfish craving, the desire to own him, that would be our undoing.

No one tells you that love is a disease. An infection that tears your heart apart, leaving you half the person you were before. A malady that leaves open wounds. An invisible disorder tracing scars in the places you couldn’t see if you weren’t looking for them.

I was sick, but love didn’t heal me.

Instead, it festered in my marrow, and drove me to unforgivable mistakes.

Six was my first mistake, but he wouldn't be the last.

Woah, I mean, what can possibly said about Six Feet Under? I feel like I walked out of this distorted tunnel and everything is blurry from staring at the bright lights and my mind is numb… Whitney Barbetti tore my mind into shreds. My review is supposed to be a place for my thoughts and I feel like I’m still inside Mira’s head and really, that’s a difficult place to be. I know I’m not going to do this book justice and I apologize in advance. Ms. Barbetti gives us one of the most intimate, upclose and personal looks at mental disease that you can get without HAVING a mental disorder yourself!! I’ll be honest, Mira is difficult to like… no, I don’t think that’s it… it’s a struggle to really get it all. Her logic and thinking is totally skewed. However, you will empathize with Mira, you will feel for her. The woman and mom in me wants so badly to help her, to “fix” her, if you will.

Anyway, I feel like I could spend an eternity discussing Mira and I still won’t achieve anything besides saying this is the best and most accurate example of mental illness that I have seen. Six, ok Six, he was difficult to understand. He has the patience of a saint and I feel like he deserves a medal of honor. I don’t feel like I got to know Six. He’s fairly mysterious. I like how he proves all Mira’s preconceived notions wrong. 

This book is deep… so deep that I’m not sure you can see the bottom. But I loved it! I can’t wait for Pieces of Eight. I need more even though I’m slightly exhausted after Six Feet Under. I’ve read quite a few of Ms. Barbetti’s books, and I know this is the best of her work in my eyes. Her words paint this vivid picture of self destruction unlike anything I’ve ever read… including my work for my psychology degree. The words Whitney Barbetti has put on paper here is going to be making all her readers thing… wonder… and really just try and understand others. This is a vivid look inside a person dealing with some massive inner demons.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Synopsis


Six was always there, even when I didn’t want him.
But he couldn’t hold me together, and I couldn’t be his penance.

Loss is a phantom limb. No one can see it, but the ache torments you in the night, distracts you during the day, and leaves you fragmented. I’m half a heart, half a soul, and nothing could cure the pieces he’d left behind.

Losing him was safer than loving him. Because the love that kept us coming back again and again was nothing short of madness.

But then, isn't mad love the most honest?

About the Author


Whitney Barbetti is really, truly awful at writing in the third person, so we're just going to change this bio up a bit and write it as first person.
I am married with two boys. When I'm not changing diapers or cutting food into tiny bites, I escape to Starbucks for hours. My blood pressure actually drops the moment I walk in, hear the baristas call my name, and inhale the aroma of coffee beans. And I don't even like coffee.

I love music and have a playlist for everything. Queen is my very favorite.

I like watching creepy shows when I am home alone but then I instantly regret them once my mind starts breeding irrational fears. I try to channel my fears into my books as a way to cope.

I have about 20 bacon things in my fridge.
