Today I’m reviewing Every Exquisite Thing by Laura Steven—a stunning YA fantasy that reimagines The Picture of Dorian Gray with emotional depth, unforgettable characters, and a story that feels both timeless and incredibly relevant.
This novel masterfully balances dark academia, gothic atmosphere, and heartfelt character development while exploring identity, beauty, self-worth, and the pressure to be seen as "perfect." Add in compelling sapphic romance, sharp social commentary, and a protagonist whose journey feels deeply authentic, and you have one of the year's standout reads.
Beautifully written and emotionally resonant, Every Exquisite Thing takes a literary classic and transforms it into something fresh, powerful, and impossible to put down.
