ouchie, too close to home.

made me think about my life in ways i was not expecting, put words to emotions that i couldn't quite place, and showed me what my life could've been like had i gone down a different path

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Listening to this audiobook was something else. 
As somebody who in history cut myself and try multiple times to take my life and a huge reason for that was my sexuality and the people around me.  This book takes me back in my history a look in a different way.

 Is a fast audiobook but I can imagine some people will give this whole new perspective about mental health and it is not easy how it looks. I can relate to the author so much in this book. The not existing hope that you will never live a normal live or rather be in a shitty relationship, but hey unless you got a partner better than being single... 

It gets better and I know you can see it get better, but for many of us who grow up in not-so-welcome places, books like this give you hope.
