Reviews with content warning for Suicide - Edinburgh

This one was hard for me. First the writing style is a little weird. I almost seems like its 3rd person & 1st person introspective. I will say that its a very heavy topic that is going on though out the story.

I think, I read this for my own feelings. I knew that it was going to be hard a some points, especially when it come to the deaths. But I found a little bit of peace with everything.

It’s so weird, I didn’t go through those situations. But we both survived our traumatic events. Yes we had loads of times that made us question the whys and why nots. The guilt and shame for what happened.

But where we differ, is the healing process. I got help and still have it. I didn’t lock it away and I wish Fee would look for this help.

I can’t recommend this, but I cannot as well. I think if you can stomach the situations them you could read this. I just won’t recommend this for a good majority of people.

This deals with SA, Pedo, Suicide, Ideations, and very heavy emotions.

This book is beautifully written. However the subject matter is harrowing and I would recommend everyone check the CW before reading.
I almost gave this 5 stars, but it felt a little overly complicated at the end, so 4.5. Otherwise, the thoughtful way that Chee brings Fee to life, with all of his trauma, complications and vulnerability is superb. Highly recommended.
