Today is World Mental Health Day (10 Oct).

This book made me cry, shake with rage, and a whole roller coaster of emotions. It isn‘t an easy read, as it tackles tough topics like suicide, and bullying. But, it‘s written so well, I highly recommend this book.

I read lots of amazing books last year but this book moved me like no other. Anyone got any similar recommendations?

This is a debut YA novel that was released in March this year, and has some hard-hitting themes.

Stacked this one after @squirrelbrain review and knew I needed a book for this prompt and then it was only #99ponkindle. Although a really sad subject, it was very genuine and handled really well. So much social media pressure on kids ā¹ļø¸ it‘s awful.

squirrelbrain Oh I‘m glad you liked it (I won‘t say enjoyed - the wrong word?). How are you doing? 5y

TrishB @squirrelbrain š thank you for asking Helen, I haven‘t cried this week so that‘s definitely a bonus! Trying to limit work day and not watch the news too much because it chokes me and is too worrying. How about you? 5y

squirrelbrain Yes, I‘ve stopped obsessively watching the news too, trying to limit it to twice a day.... I‘ve started delivering fruit and veg (as a volunteer) for my local greengrocer, who are absolutely run off their feet, as you can imagine. Only doing it a couple of hours a day but it adds a bit of structure... Look after yourself š 5y

I don‘t read a lot of YA but I received this as an #arc from #netgalley and as it fitted the #booked2020 prompt #YAnovelbyaPOC I thought I‘d give it a go. I‘m so glad I did!

Nathan‘s older brother Al has taken his own life and Nathan wants to find out why. It‘s clearly a hard hitting book due to the subject matter but it feels authentic (the author talks about her own experiences with bullying) and I love that it is UK based rather than US.

TrishB This sounds good š‘¨š¸» stacked. 5y

Cathythoughts Beautiful cover! Violet colours āØāØāØ 5y
