Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick
4.0
Forgive ME, Leonard Peacock, for forgetting what it felt like to be 18. I was brilliant and scared and lonely and confused and smart and beautiful and awkward and...
even...
... suicidal.
This book hit the mark in a way I didn't think possible. All teenagers are hormonal and dramatic and clever and needy and independent. They are smarter, more observant, and more analytic than often given credit for. Even without some sick abuse or parental neglect.
Leonard Peacock was a typical teenager. He had secrets. He suffered. He wanted to inflict some suffering while ending his own. He was often seen, but invisible. Noticed, but ignored.
Haven't you ever felt that way?
