The Bright Side of Going Dark by Kelly Harms

5.0

---

I loved Kelly Harms’s book The Overdue Life of Amy Byler and was excited to read this new and completely different book. I loved this story about a social media influencer who throws her phone off the side of a cliff! I thought it was unique that the two main characters don’t even meet each other until the end of the book as Mia takes a break from her phone – which she totally depends on – and Paige learns what it’s like to live life online. This book deals with suicide attempts, depression, and anxiety, as well as family and loss. I loved all the characters and the various ways their lives differed and intersected throughout.
