Hold Still by Nina LaCour

5.0

This is a reread, but honestly every time I come back to it I like it better. As someone who's struggled with depression and the loss of a close friend in high school, it really hit close to home. It also made me cry, although just a little. Which is saying something because at the time I was reading it on a treadmill at the gym. But I love how mental illness is depicted and all the characters are complex and flawed and sometimes you do hate them just a little. This is one of those books I'll come back to time and time again. If it can make me cry, gotta give it the full five stars. It's so beautifully written.
