I’ve seen this book before but I thought that it’s a heavy and very emotional book which will make me a crying mess and will be cause of my depression. Now that you've mentioned that this book was not as hard hitting as you’ve expected, I think, I’ll give it a try.

The writing is just so pretty, and I really liked both characters. Not always an easy book to read, but like you said there were enough moments of hope for me.

The fact that it's beautifully written and still conveys the feelings of our characters effectively in words make up for that, definitely.

I agree that it's not the most emotional book, but it's so beautifully written and I love that it gives you hope more than anything, which is what made it stand out for me when compared to other YA suicide/depression books. I did really enjoy the characters. I'm happy you gave it a shot! :) <br />Lovely review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-29471259356088567532015-04-23T13:46:42.562+01:002015-04-23T13:46:42.562+01:00I've heard so much praise for this one too, th...I've heard so much praise for this one too, though I've been avoiding a lot of suicide books recently as there seem to be so many of them. Heavy emotional books usually freak me out, so I'm glad you found it to be manageable. That's a plus for me, actually! I may end up giving this one a try sometime then. I really like that you say the depression was handled well and that their relationship builds over time and doesn't make everything perfect immediately.
