Invitation to the Blues by Roan Parrish

5.0

I LOVE this book. The core relationship is beautiful and sweet and endearing, but the way it deals with depression and anxiety and the cyclical effect of being someone who has depression, particularly in a creative field, and watching what it does to the people around us, and how that makes the depression worse (or at least doesn't help), and feeds self-defeating impulses... Ah. Painful but so well-written. And Jude's introversion and retreating to his home when it just becomes too much and self-isolating himself for extended periods was just... It's wonderfully written and such an accurate portrayal of depression.

Great book. Great read.
