This was a great read focusing on mental health and substance abuse. It captures it in a very real way, and doesn’t ignore the fact that both are a lifelong issue that cannot magically be solved.

Amazing character work with devastating moments that keep you turning the page in hopes of reprieve. Beautiful book that focuses on self-harm, but has an even more important message about finding you voice (in whatever medium) and screaming your truth.
