This Is Me Trying by Racquel Marie
4.5
emotional sad tense
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

How do you live every day and grow up after a deeply personal loss that shatters the heart of your entire community? A deeply moving, raw potrayal of teenage grief. At it's heart, this is a story of loss and love, and learning how to live with the shattered pieces yourself. The journey is filled with anger, sadness, small moments of joy, acceptance, despair, and it is heartbreaking but beautifully written.
