Found this while roaming #HPB, of course. A good read! Sam/Jack opened my eyes to a population of the #differentlyabled that's been the butt of jokes for far too long. A good story, not the #lifetime type, of love, hurting and how some of us cope.
Where's the sequel & when will it be a movie?

Raw, uplifting, and real. "No One Should Feel Alone: Writing about Mental Health in Youths." Powerful speakers Jonathan Friesen and Haresh Sharma talk about the Power of Story. Beautiful. Visceral and heartfelt. Friesen is an amazing amazing speaker. He touches something raw and bleeding inside you and sings to it. Moderated by award-winning Balli Kaur Jaswal.

I've been *slowly* parting with old books these past few months. I've been taking two boxes to the library and one box to a used bookstore when I have the opportunity. This is one of the next batches to go and they're making me feel soooo nostalgic since I loved them in middle school. (I'm 21 now.)

Q: Do you have books that are hard to part with because you loved them years ago?
