Product Information

There, he witnesses his wife and an unknown man having sex, but Atsuhisa Yamada is unable to express his feelings like anger, frustration, and depression. To know others are reading those comments and deciding that point of view is acceptable because the way it's phrased implies it is. We need more diversity and we need more heavy topics in books, we need to discuss the tough topics and give representation and to show that it's not always happy endings and romance. The different points of view enable the reader to understand how mental health affects us all differently.

Growing up, Autumn and Finny were like peas in a pod despite their differences: Autumn is “quirky and odd,” while Finny is “sweet and shy and everyone like[s] him. Through the three perspectives, the author manages to convey how mental health issues can affect anyone and everyone regardless of whether they have a reason. I'm not exaggerating when I say these are the most hurtful and HARMFUL ableist comments that I've read in a book.This debut novel is an absolute triumph in voice and style - each of the 3 POV characters are so fully realized, you will feel like you've known them your entire life and will not want to let them go.

We see her pray and talk about how that helps her, we even get a scene where the girls go out for a meal and they find somewhere halal so Mehreen can eat and I loved that Cara and Olivia were so understanding and accepting of it. You know what would life be like if I got hit by a car right now on my way to work etc, what if the bus I was on crashed or what if I was in a car accident and today was my last day alive - those thoughts enter my head often on a daily basis.The book pulls no punches and librarians and teachers must be wary of triggering descriptions of suicide attempts and abusive situations. Overall I enjoyed reading the book, it offered a good insight into mental health and how vulnerable you really are but I just didn’t think the ending was satisfying. I loved each and every one of them, and their bravery and courage just made me feel more attached to each of them.
