This Is Me Trying by Racquel Marie
5.0
5/5 ripped my chest in two and sewed it back together.
Truly I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. I wasn't sure I was ready for something that covers such heavy topics but they were handled with so much care. But truly PLEASE check the content warnings, this is a very heavy book. While the suicide occurs off page (and the method is never mentioned) the grief that is discussed is strong.
Content warnings that wasn't an option below: misgendering
