Delicates by Brenna Thummler

"Life is a precious thing, dearie. It has skin that can feel. and feet that can dance. and hearts that can love and be loved. and you are loved sweetheart. You are good at seeing the world. Can you please keep letting the world see you?"
To say this hurt me on such a different level than Sheets doesn't even begin to explain how raw I felt after putting down this book. It came after me on a personal level. Making me see my teenage self in Eliza.
Thummler also does a really good job at making us see how the people around someone can make us in turn, start to hate someone. It was really interesting to find myself so upset with a character I had previously been rooting for.
