I did feel like this one handled the topic well, though, which is something I cannot say about many other suicide themed YA novels. The romance always seemed a bit odd to me. There never sees to be a point to it.

I liked the book I Was Here athough the heavy suicide dosage in a young adult was too much at times, I liked Cody as well, but the romance didn't work out too much for me either.

I remember one part where people gave lists of ways to commit suicide and how long it would take to die. It does have its issues, but it DOES handle the delicate topic well!

[Trigger Warning: self-harm!!!] I've seen actual instagram accounts that encourage people to self-harm and post triggering pictures with peaceful captions and people actually send them vidoes of themselves cutting. It's so sad and personally, i think it needs to be stopped. Sucks that this book isn't memorable but hopefully it handled the topic of suicide well. Nice review!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422810755949154079noreply@blogger.com
