This book changed me.
My review on B&N:
I've always heard the expression, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude about it." As someone who also deals with depression, it seems impossible. Just hearing those words, it still can feel hopeless. This book gave me a new perspective. I felt I really connected with the main character and her struggles, it was as if I could feel what she was going through. Very well written, I will read this again whenever I am going through a difficult time.
