Why read it?

This book uses ghosts and the feeling of floating to achingly and truthfully illustrate how it feels to live your life through a cloud of depression, anxiety, and grief.
The reality of living with disassociation can be incredibly hard to capture, but the author does so seamlessly, filtering every element of the story through the protagonist’s unique lens. Hope is also layered into this book in a sensitive and incredibly truthful way, which is so important when talking about mental health.
The natural setting only adds to the aching beauty of this story.
