This book was a HEAVY read, make no mistake. But I related so much to the main character it shook me to my core. Not only does this book depict a beautiful and yearning sapphic romance, but it also takes a good hard look at depression. This may be the most accurately depicted depression I have seen in quite a while. I remember sitting and reading this and thinking “I feel/felt the same way!!!”

This book is not for everyone. It triggered me a little bit, but FOR ME it was SO WORTH IT. There are resources in the back of the book for numerous agencies that help LGBT youth and those suffering with depression and suicidal thoughts.

Ultimately, you know yourself better than anyone. If reading about depression and suicidal ideation is going to be an issue. There’s no shame in skipping it. But if you can do it, I doubt you’ll be disappointed. I don’t think a book has made me feel this much in a long time.
