This book tore me apart. Not About a Boy is a heart-breakingly accurate portrayal of what it's like growing up not knowing who you are, what you're doing here, or how to find those answers. Mel's struggle with addiction and depression and not knowing how to ask for help or if she even wants it is the same story so many people live through, and Myah Hollis captures that despair beautifully. This is an amazing debut and I'm looking forward to reading more from her.
