"I like how Robyn brought color to Edens life but I don't like the fact that they never spoke again. I would suggest this book to teenager or people going through depression and has anxiety I feel like it would be very relatable for them. I rate this 5 star cause it was the most beautiful book I have ever read."

"This book is a must read for sure. But grab your tissues because you will need them. 😢 I can relate to pretty much everything the protagonist went through in this book. Even down to the smallest minute detail. It's very well written and the descriptive text describing her emotions are very well played out so you feel as if you yourself are there. Make sure to pay attention to the warnings at the beginning because there may be triggers that can be harmful to some. If you have issues with depression and self harm, know that you are not alone. Seek help. "
Have to keep reading
"The writer does a great job of showing what depression is like from the inside. If you have gone through depression you will see yourself in this story. If you haven’t, but you know someone who has, it can help you understand the situation better. The writing style is compelling and makes me want to keep reading. I look forward to seeing where this story goes. Will the main character find an outlet for her feelings through poetry?"
Well written; Compelling
"The author of this story has well described the thoughts and feelings experienced by one so deeply unhappy within their own skin. This piece is beautifully written, in both a grammatical and a lyrical sense. I cannot wait for the next instalment, to see where the author goes with this premise. Based on the story thus far, it will be compelling! "
So good!
"I love this story so much. Constantly waiting for updates"
Lovely
"A lovely book. Highly recommended :)"
I AM NOT OKAY
"This story takes a deep dive into a teen girl’s chronic depression. If you don’t understand what it truly means to be depressed, this is a book you should read. I think everyone can relate to the feelings the main character feels, and the author does an amazing job describing them. I can’t even begin to imagine feeling this way on a constant basis :( I enjoyed the bits where traditional romance stories were satirised, while juxtaposing them with her endlessly gloomy self images. Well written and I think the author did justice to the topic. Highly recommend this book P.S: Even though I’m way past being a kid, I did put the book down… took a walk :)"
I am not okay
"I like the plot and how the story is progressing I also like the fact that I'm able to feel all the main character 's emotions because of the writer 's writing style I 'll recommend it to anybody it's really good "
Very relatable
"I was a little concerned at the beginning considering that the story was relying a lot more on telling rather than showing. But the more I read, the more I seemed to relate with the main character. Love the way it's written and expressed. Good job !"

"I think the writing in and of itself is beautiful. Very well done. Descriptive, great imagery, almost Taylor Swift-esque in the wording you use (it's giving Folklore and Evermore haha). But I have to say the plot is a little rough for me. I understand this is a book about depression, but each chapter is essentially the same. After reading the first five I didn't really want to keep going since it seemed like every chapter was pretty much the same. There was no plot really to drive the story forward and keep me wanting to read. There has to be something underlying that so that the reader will turn the page, because it felt very monotonous to me (which I understand is what depression is like as someone who is in remission, but that's why depression sucks - so making reading a book feel that way is not gonna get people to turn the pages) In that way, I think the plot needs development. What could be some interesting sub-plots? What is the overall plot and how can we maybe increase the pace of that so the reader is more engaged? How do we differentiate these chapters to make them stand out from one another and each do something to drive the story/the plot forward? I think these would be good questions to ask in order to develop this. Or, if this is what you want to stick with, I'd change it to being more of a "memoir" style. Like a "found footage" situation, but make it a journal. And even with that, you can turn it into a sort of psych thriller where you can see a descent into madness or something like that. Again, getting people to turn the pages. Overall, the writing is really great and you have the technical side of things really honed in and on lock, it's just the plot of this could use some work to make it more interesting/engaging. Great work though and good luck! :)"
Truly Amazing
"What I’ve read so far has been great. The story really pulls you in. You feel like you’re right there with the character feeling and experiencing everything they do. It keeps you hypnotised as you wait with bated breathe to see what’s next. I look forward to reading more."
Im not okay
"The author has captured my attention. Every emotion described is what i feel on a daily basis. Im older than the protagonist but i feel like we live in the same darkness. I feel sorry for her,for myself. Im feeling suicidal and close to a mental breakdown,this book captures all of that in elegant words"
