It Helps with the Blues by Bryan Cebulski
4.0
It Helps with the Blues follows the story of an unnamed narrator growing up in the Midwest and how the suicide of a classmate affects him and his closest friends.
I loved how this book was written. It reads as though you’re sitting with an old friend who you haven’t seen in years, as they fill you in on what’s been going on in their life since. I liked how each character we were introduced too shared their own views on how they were dealing with the loss.
The only downfall for me was that we didn’t get to know the main character as much as the others. Only that he is a bisexual 18y/o who comes from a well off single parent household & has a drinking issue. Even though this doesn’t take away from the story, I just wished for there to be more.
