Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman

5.0

I loved this so much. This was a great metaphor for depression and attempting to deal with it. It's hard, it's painful, and some of the roads take you nowhere, but if you keep walking, you'll get somewhere in the end. This mindset really helped me figure out how to tackle my own mental problems.
Some quotes:

"'Walk on' had been her credo; she repeated it to herself every morning upon deciding to get up and exist for one more day." pg 193

"You are the traveler, taking this journey. You are the hero, writing this story." pg 355

"Experiencing nothingness had left her feeling unexpectedly full." pg 398
