pickI got to meet Nic Stone for about 5 min at the book fair in my area. This story is about 2 teens, both dealing with trauma & mental health issues. They become bffs & eventually there‘s some romance. I‘m in the MH field & think Stone portrayed substance abuse & mental health accurately. She wrote that this is her most personal book. Also, I had a bad day, then re-read what she signed, & it made me feel better. Story is hopeful, not a downer.
I went to a wreath-making event with some friends from work last night. Mine turned out a little wonky, and there isn't a discernable hole, but it still looks ok above the fireplace!

I come out of hiding. I walk down the aisle toward him.
The smile he gives me is worth living for.
“Found your book,” he says.

pickOn par with Alan Gratz' Ban This Book comes a fictionalized yet based on a true story of the author's experience of book censorship at her school. In this book the town also has strong options of dress codes, candy, and pizza delivery among other things. Themes of parental mental health are also worth mentioning.
Brimming with emotion, I refolded the letter and cradled it in my hands. The chestnut colt—I‘d have to think of a name for him—was watching me with an impish look that promised adventure, and I smiled back at him with complete and utter satisfaction. Now this was a day to end all days . . . or to begin them.

pickI was recently asked about the opioid crisis on a medical school interview. I answered from my perspective in healthcare and outside knowledge of the matter. I feel like this book gave me an insider‘s insight and I'm thankful for it.
I had a hard time getting into it at first, spent 6 days reading until 45 % and 1 day reading the rest. This book is beyond addiction, it is about parenting, siblings, friendship, bullying, unconditional love, and +.
