Dark Room Etiquette by Robin Roe
5.0
This book was phenomenally written. I haven’t felt this attached to, invested in, or triggered by characters this much since reading We Begin At the End, which is easily my favorite book of all time at this point.
Sayer’s character development had me on a rollercoaster because it was so difficult NOT to feel anxious and horrible for the predicament he found himself in after being someone I despised early on. The subject matter of overcoming trauma is something so vital for young readers to understand and familiarize themselves with to break the cycles and negative stigma on mental health.
I loved this. I wish it had been around when I was younger. It’s a fast-paced and unsettling read, but it’ll really tug at your heartstrings and you’ll come out different for it as a reader, in a positive way.
