This may have been my favorite book of the year.

Suicide themes make me nervous in books. This book handles it without glorifying it or downplaying it. Honestly, suicide makes me angry, but again credit to the author for writing a description of why some people make this choice. Depression, anxiety, and other emotions are all real and they affect people in many ways. Remember that you are loved, you make a difference, and no matter how bad it is; someone wants to help.

The happily ever after at the end is a little much. Emotions and attacks don't just go away, but there is some healing when the realization that you matter sticks. Well done!
