This Is Me Trying by Racquel Marie

5.0

This went beyond.  If you need a good cry, then this is the book for you.  I want to go ahead and warn that this deals with suicide and mental health. 

There are two individuals in this story who are figuring out how to survive a loss.  Both knew someone closely who committed suicide.   Bea seems to be destroying herself in grief.  A loud and often disastrous destruction.  Santi is the opposite.   Trying to shrink away and possibly disappear.   

This book holds a lot of grief, but I found it to be a somewhat cathartic experience.   The emotion ran me dry, but the hopeful ending left me feeling clean. 

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!
