The Angel Room Kindle Edition
Things I hate about Creep:
Always around
Never shuts up
Thinks he’s SO funny
Perfect memory
Ugly AF
Basically a horrible person
Things I like about Creep:
Actually funny sometimes
Was there for me when no one else was
Someone to talk to
Already knows … everything
Everyone has demons, but fifteen-year-old Eleanor can actually talk to hers.
When her family moves to a new neighborhood, gender-questioning artist Eleanor thinks she can escape her past —and the secret she’s been carrying since she was little — but Creep won’t be left behind. He’s her childhood bestie and her only confidant. Always there: fish-bone teeth and gravel voiced. The monster under her bed. The top-tier fan of all her nightmares who keeps her from what she wants most: a new start.
Eleanor has anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and Creep. She doesn’t expect to make friends. Then she meets Mia, a Black goth-girl lesbian in lipstick and army boots, and Virgil, a reformed bad boy with a stable full of horses. Thanks to her new friends, Eleanor begins to question everything. What love really looks like. Her own identity. Who she could be without Creep.
Can she find the courage to share her story and be rid of him forever?
An award-winning, queer coming-of-age in the tradition of Speak and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Angel Room explores the power and healing of authenticity. The redemptive nature of friendship. The strength and resilience needed to mend family bonds. And the courage it takes to realize that you deserve to be heard.
A psychological tale in a literary style, this book sifts the shadows and finds hope. The Angel Room may lead readers into the dark, but it leaves the light on.

I bought it in paperback and kindle (for when I’m reading in the dark). Both versions are great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

P.S. The audiobook reader is STELLAR. She does a wonderful job and puts the perfect amount of emotion where it is due. I only wish she gave the love interest a bit more personality, but not a huge distraction. Otherwise she does a fabulous job and I love listening to her tell the story.
I hardly have words to put into how beautifully written this was. It touches on topics that are difficult to talk about, but if no one talk about it then nothing can change for the better. Stepping into the world of a girl who has been sexually abused, and has to carry around that fear and trauma, is uncomfortable, yes, but a sacred honor to do so. This book is a gift for anyone who wants to understand what its like to struggle with the memories of abuse on a daily basis. This book is not to be missed, buy it, you won't regret it. It'll steal you away until it's read through.

On a more serious note, this is truly a great piece of work. The author’s commitment to the story and characters is evident, in that I very quickly felt like I personally knew the characters. I was feeling what they were feeling, I was surprised or afraid or laughing when they were. Creep is obviously a dark humor masterpiece, but the symbolism of Creep is so meaningful and will strike anyone who has been through similar trauma to Eleanor. I believe Angel Room will make many people feel seen and heard and hopefully bring some healing along with that.
