THIS NEEDS TO BE IN EVERY LIBRARY! I really enjoyed I Feel Awful, Thanks. One of my friends recommended it and I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy. The main storyline is a new adult going off to work and realizing that she is not handling life as well as she felt she should. She is experiencing anxiety and depression, along with self-doubt. Dealing with a toxic situation at work and a new relationship, it all boils over.
The coolest part is the story is immersed in magical realism.
Going into a therapy-like situation, she is able to learn to understand and cope with her emotions, in a vivid and visceral way. It is SO cool!
The book helps understand that these emotions and feelings are valid, and the there are ways to work through them. Also, amazing friends and standing up for yourself.
