Overview
A story that begins where too many others end, this stunningly written and unflinchingly authentic tale of love, loss, and hope will touch fans of All the Bright Places and Girl in Pieces.
Lifeās tough when you didnāt expect to be living it. But now that Journey has a future, she apparently also has to figure out what that futureās supposed to look like.
Some days the pain feels as fresh as that day: the day she attempted suicide. Her parents donāt know how to speak to her. Her best friend cracks all the wrong jokes. Her bipolar II disorder feels like it swallows her completely.
But other daysāthey feel like revelations. Like meeting the dazzling Etta, a city college student who is a world unto herself. Or walking into the office of the volunteer hotline, and discovering a community as simultaneously strong and broken as she is.
Or uncovering the light within herself that she didnāt know existed.
