Dear In This Moment,
You have been on my TBR forever. I have passed you over time and time again, and I am not sure why, but the TBR jar determined that I would read you this week. And I am so glad it did. While you are a bit of a throw-back, you were definitely food for thought. I was a bit frustrated with Meg in general. I wanted to shake her and tell her to GO TO THERAPY. She obviously had experienced so much trauma, and her parents should have put her in therapy back when she was 16 to help her process the grief of losing her best friend. If broke my heart that she carried around that trauma for years and years. I hated that her life has to come to an absolute breaking point before she got the help that she needed. Seeing through her eyes, spending time inside her head was a perspective that I have never experienced or considered - the absolute pain of survivor guilt, and while you were not an easy ready, you were a good book .
