The Year I Stopped Trying by Katie Heaney

4.0

3.5 - A YA coming of age and coming out story about Mary, a teen girl who is feeling overwhelmed with the pressures to achieve in school and life and decides to stop trying so hard. I loved that it was told from the first person perspective and we get to see Mary's inner thoughts and anxieties. Recommended for fans of The perks of being a wallflower or Not my problem. Great on audio and really great mental health rep.
