'The Existence of Amy' does an amazing job showing you the everyday life and the stresses that Amy goes through. Amy has a full-time job, has her own home, and tries to maintain friendships. The thing is it's hard for her to do all this and her friends have no idea the mental anguish she goes through everyday (Sally was just a horrible person; so entitled).
This book is one that most of us could relate to and the subject manner isn't so heavy. It's like you're living whatever Amy is going through as if you're in the present moment with her. The constant voice in the back of your mind, constantly tugging at you...trying to make your day a living nightmare. No matter how hard Amy tried to push these thoughts out of her mind..she just couldn't. I really truly felt for her. I'm glad that she had at least sort of a friend in Ed. He seemed to be the only one who truly cared about her.
I think it's safe to say that after reading this book, it's so important to have a support system and learn to listen to people. I want to give a huge thank you to Lana Grace Riva for gifting me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly enjoyed it.
