My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga
3.0
I rate this at a 3, but it's more of a lukewarm 3.5 stars.
I'm not entirely sure this one deserves all the hype, but I get why it might appeal to the average young adult reader. It's a quick easy read, though definitely some things are accurate and difficult to read when it comes to depression. However, the end was too sudden for my liking, and Roman seemed kind of like a joke the entire time. While I didn't believe in the Aysel/Roman connection, I did believe in the message and can vouch that depression is a lot like that. Please do not follow in these two characters's footsteps though; if you think you are depressed, please talk to someone and get help. Find your reasons to live.
