I can’t exactly say I “Enjoyed” this book because it is not the type of book to be enjoyed. It’s a realistic, in depth look at just some of the factors that can lead to a young person getting caught up in self-harm and just how it can affect their relationships and life at the same time.
There’s issues that are left slightly unaddressed, her mother’s emotional trauma from her childhood, Amira’s anxiety problems, and the way so many people address self-harm as “attention seeking”. And whilst this may come across as ignorant to these issues, sadly this is such a common idea that it makes it all that more accurate.
