This was a 6 star read for me and is highly likely to be in my top 5 books for the year.
The Night I Spent With Aubrey Fisher tackles some extremely dark subject matter (check your trigger warnings!!!) in such a powerful way.
Grayson Falconi has decided that in 24 hours he is going to kill himself. After his brother died, he blames himself and the guilt and grief is just to much for him to bear. Enter Aubrey Fischer, troubled foster girl with dark secrets of her own. She takes Gray on a night of adventure designed to show him that there is still a life beyond the extreme depression and anxiety he is feeling.
When I tell you this book gave me all the feels, I mean it. It was heartbreaking, intense, funny, and so much more. At one point I even cried. As someone who has dealt with depression and anxiety since I was a teen, and while I haven't experienced it on this level, I could definitely relate to Gray and Aubrey. They are extremely loveable characters and I found myself rooting for them throughout the book.
Christopher M. Tantillo's writing is both moving and smart. I look forward to reading his new book, Keep You, that comes out in May.
