A worthy authorized fanfiction that links Before the Storm and True Colors. I appreciated the exploration of mental health issues surrounding PTSD, grief, and SAD.

 I don't think this was for me, the characters were two dimensional and the storyline made little to no sense and too many of the characters were dislikable

I really loved being able to see what lead Steph to land in Haven Springs. Getting to know her struggles in the aftermath of the Storm from LIS and being able to see she needed healing and how the town was that for was some beautiful to be apart of.

I listened to the audiobook and hearing Katy Bentz tell Steph's story was incredible

A must read for any life is strange fan:)

It is so cool to have a story set from Steph’s perspective! and I feel like it absolutely nails her character. The book adds a lot of important context to true colours, and I feel like it explains really well what happened to Steph in between games. There is also respect and appreciation to the different choices people made in the games, and at its core, this is a great story that gives much needed representation to characters we do not usually see done this well in fiction.

Love Life is Strange, so I really enjoyed learning more about Steph. I think the tone of the writing works better for me in the game format though. Overall worth a read for any LiS fan!
