The Words We Keep by Erin Stewart

While I think this is probably a really good book, I can't keep reading the character's spiraling thoughts for my own mental health, while my own thoughts are always up there swirling around.  Can't add more!

✨Perfect. Talks about depression and how a person and their family handles it

✨Took only 2 days to read it (though, if I want so busy, it would’ve taken just a day.) 

✨It was beautiful. I only just tatted picking up reading so who am I to say anything

✨Please don’t find the blurb cringe. “The power or love, friendship and art.” Please give it a chance

Thanks PRHAudio for this complimentary audiobook! This book covers a lot of ground when it comes to the stigma of anxiety and mental health. Taking place in high school also lends to reality based pressures to fit in and not appear weak.
This book could definitely be triggering to anyone suffering mental health issues or knows someone suffering. The book doesn't hold back from the unfortunate aspects. For some reason I kept thinking of Looking For Alaska while I was reading this book. Similar vibe I guess? Definitely a strong YA read. Not quite as hopeful but maybe that's the point?
I dunno? Go read this one and talk to me about it!
