the things that have happens so far is Elisabeth is trying to get her father back even tho he is dead. but she has been able to see her dad eve after he died but she lost him and she is going back to the places that he visited when he was alive so she can find him again.
this book is about a girl Elizabeth and she is trying to navigate her life with her mother and twin brother and sister. Her father died when she was 9 but she still sees him like he is still there but only she can see him and no one else sees him. I think this book is beautifully written and it has some heavy topics in it and i think the author did a great job handling those topics.
pickThis book somehow found a way to put into words everything that mentally ill people(including myself) have been trying to say. The fluid descriptions in this book of PTSD, high-functioning depression/anxiety, and dissociative disorders were just so REAL. Finally a book thats not afraid to show the truths of what mental illness is and not romanticize it in the slightest. This is an absolute 5 star read and I honestly recommend it to EVERYONE.
Biz knows how to float, right there on the surface--normal okay regular fine. She has her friends, her mom, the twins. She has Grace. And she has her dad, who shouldn't be here but is. So Biz doesn't tell anyone anything--not about her dark, runaway thoughts, not about kissing Grace or noticing Jasper, the new boy. And not about seeing her dad. Because her dad died when she was seven...

My #stacksonstacks for @bookriot 's #riotgrams. I'm lazy, so here are just two of the MANY stacks I have.
pickI have a lot of respect for this book. It is an honest exploration of mental health, dealing with death and loss in more ways than one and, most importantly it is done in a way that is warm and funny while not shying away from the story she wants to tell.
Listen all the way to the author‘s note in which she shares her own battles, making the story even better and more real.
4.5 stars
