Some Other Now by Sarah Everett
5.0
Book reviews for books like this always stump me. Mainly because I never know what to write or how to explain some of the beauty the book withheld to me, but as I update my things, I want to honor this book with some of the things I really enjoyed.
Sarah Everett has always written books that deals with triggering topics. Most of them diving deep into the world beyond depression and continuing to spiral so much it's ALMOST too real to continue reading but nonetheless I really adored this book. It follows alongside Jessi, who has never really known what it's like to actually have a family and she really just goes beyond her own home into the Cohens like she has always belonged. Until the one night that always changes everything. Of course, heartbreak and loss come into pay but of course that's always known. I really liked the way this book took its turn at hand with oncoming major depressive disorder as it had an effect on Jessi's life for so long. It showed that it isn't ever easy and with it comes a lot of problems that one has to overcome. I think the message of course goes out to a younger audience but it's all the same with the message of it never being easy. And it isn't. In some cases, and for Jessi it wasn't.
