Jesus Christ. That hit me hard. I once tried to commit suicide at night I swallowed 6 pills and went to bed, hoping to die in my sleep. I lived so I guess that makes me a survivor.

Thank you for writing this. I lost my brother to suicide over dose like Iris did, easy to relate to. Great piece of work!

This novel really spoke to me , at first I was confused by how the author made Spencer speak but now it all came together perfectly . Some details about Spencer that I can relate to is staying quiet all the time because she felt as if anyone couldn't understand her . Some details about Iris is that shes caring for Spencer as a bestfriend should be . I totally recommend people to look into this book I believe the author did an excellent job in writing and putting the novel all together
