The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan

5.0

I am not done but I am
Already in love with the writing and wording and heart felt symbolism. This was absolutely beautiful and amazing take on family, grief, mental illness, and suicide. The awareness, the beautifully painted complexity of how sorrow and grief manifests in each person. Therapy conversations and friendship. I had to pause and slowly savor honesty of this book. An important conversation of the stigma taking on a fantasy perspective to help ease. It really was an astounding read.
