Rachel Nussbaum liked Bailey's review of Were Wolf Short Stories: "I really had to take my time with this anthology. So... three stars overall because I think being werewolf stories made them kinda hindered it.

Rachel Nussbaum liked grangel's review of We Rotted in the Bitterlands: "This book deserves to go viral on BookTok unlike all the random books that are going viral these days. It's actually a crime that this book is so obscure because it's one of the best dystopian books I've ever read. This book almost made me cry and I " Read more of this review »

Quotes by Rachel Nussbaum (?)

“Days in the sun, such harmless fun, they remind my heart of you. But you crumbled away, now alone I will play, my heart crumbled away with you too.

Bundles of flowers, a bouquet towers, they remind my heart of you. But your soul flew away, how I wish it could stay, my heart flew away with you too.

Rows of stones, such beautiful bones, they remind my heart of you. But you rotted away, at the end of the day, my heart rots away for you too.”
― Rachel Nussbaum, We Rotted in the Bitterlands
