I highly recommend this book. I truly don’t think there is a better book out there for survivors. It guides you through the healing journey one small step at a time. It includes many useful practices that I now use on a daily basis, and everything is explained clearly, allowing you to better understand what’s happening in your body and start to heal properly. It also has a lot of stories from other survivours that are horrible to read, but it makes you feel less alone.
Overall, I can't recommend this book enough. It really helped me so much, but I do recommend doing at least some of the exercises with a therapist cause some of them are really hard. If you need this book, I’m truly sorry for what brought you to it, and I hope it helps you as much as it helped me.
I just figured out this is the last book and the others are prequels and I was NOT ready for that at all. I found this series randomly in the library and did not expect it to become one of the best series I have ever read. It’s true that I liked the last book a little less than the others, but I still gave it 4.5⭐️
Now I genuinely do not know what to do with myself. Please go read this series, you will not regret it.
The story is beautiful, almost as much as its illustrations. I loved how much of it was based on real events, even though it was a magical realism book. The writing style is so touching, and many of the random paragraphs are beautifully written. I loved Rio as a character, he was so sassy, and their relationship was so sweet. It felt a little insta-love, but it was still amazing.
This would have been a 5⭐️ if it wasn't for the third act breakup. I really didn't want to read anymore after that I think Stevie deserved better and Iris needs some therapy. She acted really shitty and after that i didn't root for them anymore. Stevie is so sweet she really deserved better someone that actually wants to be in a relationship with her.
Before thw breakup they were so sweet and so funny i have so much good things highlighted in this book and I am so dissapointed by the breakup.
This whole world is so intresting and such a great idea, I love it. It was really fun to read and I love that characters are not actually good people. I really just loved the whole vibe of this book and could definetly read like 10 of them. The idea of what happenes to you if you die but survive it is so unique and fascinating.
