I gave it 5 stars. I loved reading this book as a whole; the story and the structure of the thoughts made me emotionally engaged with every character. The need to learn not to judge anyone without knowing their circumstances The author fascinated me with her ability to deliver such topics as suicide and abuse in a way that is devoid of descriptions that may hurt the reader's feelings.I honestly feel that the book is a must-read for adults as well as younger people.
Life is hard on its own so let's make it easier for each other if we could.

A single kindness can save a life. That sentence alone encompass the important message of this book. I rate this 5 out of 5 stars for the heartwarming story and memorable characters. Their real life struggles could be an example for those reading this book on how to presevere against such problems.

Latest Review: Embrace Your Age by JAMES B. FLAHERTY ... An octogenarian with a bright future.

Post by Mehul P »

The thing I liked most was the approach of writer to write each chapter.
It was interesting to see one thing from each character's perspective and understanding their own characters as well. Just amazing thing.
I'm thinking of writing a review soon. Just gonna finish up with some details.

Quick thing.
Could anyone tell me one thing?
Do I just write a review here or do I have to wait for this book to be shown on my review homepage and then I select it for review?

Hi, you have to wait until the book shows on your select page, then you could choose it to review and continue the reviewing process.

Latest Review: The BLACK BOTTOM by Theo Czuk

Post by Tosin Le »

This was a very relatable book. A lot of young teenagers face different kinds of struggles such as abuse, peer pressure, suicidal thoughts, and lots more daily just to meet expectations from people. This book contains tips that will them change their perspective on how life should be. The author skilfully presented his ideas and that was great. I disliked nothing in the book.

This book was incredibly relatable. Many young kids struggle daily to live up to expectations from others and deal with issues including abuse, peer pressure, suicide thoughts, and many more. The advice in this book will help individuals alter their perception of how life ought to be. It was excellent how the author expressed his opinions. Nothing in the book bothered me.

This book is interesting as it applies to friends and families who are affected by these actions. The cover and title are appropriate for the story. There was nothing about this book that I would recommend the author change and it was perfect.

Although I haven't finished reading this book yet, what I have read thus far has been exciting and inspiring. As a teenager, I can identify with some of the life situations described in this book. It gave me the impression that I'm not the only one going through a challenging moment. I now have a different perspective on life because of what I have read in the book. Any teenager going through hard times could like this novel.

This book is nice for it explores the issues about mental health which sometimes people are too afraid to talk about. Since it was set only in a day, I don't think it provided the characters enough exposure for the reader to get to know them.

Overall, I could say that it's a decent story, but it would have been nice if the author had provided an epilogue to explain what happened to everyone particularly when some of them just faded towards the end.

this book is so nice, although is about anxiety, being alone, depression of life and stress, but need to be aware, nowadays especially our kids our already teenagers need guidance as parents. Communication is one big factor in connecting our teenage sons or daughters to tell all their problems about themselves so that suicide can be avoided. We have only one life.

Latest Review: The Magician's Secret by Charles Townsend

Post by Christina Gizzi »

I finished this book yesterday and it had me hooked from start to finish. I loved the different perspectives and how it made sure to show readers that someone’s public appearance can be completely different from who they actually are and what they are going through. I gave this book a 5 out of 5 stars. It was well written and had a great message.
