🖤💗 My Thoughts

Phantom Limb is a rollercoaster from start to finish. The main character goes through so many twists and emotional turns that it’s hard not to feel completely pulled into her world. The book explores heavy themes like childhood trauma, sexual abuse, mental health struggles, mental disorders, and eating disorders.

Nothing is described graphically, but the writing conveys just enough to make you ache for the MC and understand the weight she carries. Lucinda Berry balances psychological tension with empathy, creating a story that is unsettling, heartbreaking, and gripping all at once.

A powerful, twist-filled psychological read that sticks with you.
