The Existence Of Amy

The Existence of Amy is such an insightful read. I think it gives a very accurate view on anxiety, OCD and depression. At times, Amy's hurt really broke my heart. Amy is a woman that has to go through so much mental hurt, and that doesn't leave the reader unaffected. Amy keeps her mental hurt a secret to the people around her, and goes through them all alone. You can clearly see her fighting for help throughout the story, but her OCD, depression and anxiety keep her from seeking help. She had to battle her own thoughts everyday, every minute, every second.

The underlying message of this book is really important: a good support system is so so important. This story was touching and heartbreaking, and it left me thinking about life for a while after reading it.
