Sweet Dandelion by Micalea Smeltzer
1.0

I think the most disappointing part of this book is that the author displayed no real knowledge of what depression or anxiety really looks/feels like.

It was a repetitive order food, contemplate my nail polish, eat cafeteria food, joke about the fact that I can’t cook… combine that with way too many references of modern movies (Twilight) and music which dates a book and totally removes the readers from the story… I DNF’d after 4 days of trying to finish.

This story had the potential to really delve into the mental health of someone who has PTSD, depression, and anxiety. This could have been a book that really opened up the discussion for serious issues. Instead it fell flat.
