And just like that I am left speechless but also with red eyes...
Second 5 star read of the year goes to Xavier & Vivienne.

What an emotional journey this book was, and it was unexpected. Very unexpected.

The emotions that slammed into my chest at that moment I understood Xavier on a whole different level. The harsh reality of the main topic in this book was astoundingly accurate.
If you have heard the words that he did, you get it. It isn't something you can just suck up. Even if you tried and succeeding in pushing it down, it will always come back.

These two are what every person needs that struggles with mental health.
Xavier & Vivienne are what each other needs not on just a physical level cause whoo that is there for sure! But these two have that emotional connection that solidifies the bond that grow between them, and when it is all laid bare. Just beautiful.

“I survived once. I’m not sure I can survive again.”

This book is one I will remember more than the others so far in this hockey world. I've been in those shoes and heard "just suck it up." or "It isn't real. It's just in your head." Those are the worst things to hear and make everything worse. So I get why he did what he did in the past, cause I did too. It's a tough road to walk alone but if you find someone who can help and center you, you can definitely overcome the hard days better.

If you have not read this series, I highly highly recommend it but start from all the way at the beginning and you will understand this book that much more.

I do have to say one last thing, Thank you Natasha. Just thank you, mental health is not something that is openly talked about as much as it should be for those who suffer in silence. The feeling of being alone and no one gets it or wants to help you, that's the hardest part of suffering with a mental illness. I hope this book reaches and helps just one person and gives them hope that you can overcome the hard days, you are not alone and you can do it.
