Fire Song by Adam Garnet Jones
4.0
Candid, visceral, and heart breaking. This book digs under your skin. The prose is gorgeous and vivid, expressing a complex range of emotions with precision and nuance. This book will hurt and then heal you.
there was one part that I felt uncomfortable about, which was a scene where the main character, Shane, thinks to himself that suicide passes your pain to other people, which feels like the kind of unhelpful guilt tripping that's supposed make people want to keep living but instead paints people who die by suicide as selfish and callous and even malicious toward the people who care them.
