Anguish is a heartbreaking yet hopeful read. It takes on some very serious issues, ones that require a lot of inner strength and bravery to deal with. I have a great admiration for the author and the skillful, sympathetic way in which she told Ben and JC’s story. Finding true and meaningful love in this world is difficult enough, but when you throw depression, anxiety and confusion into the mix, it can seem downright insurmountable. I highly recommend this book for all teenagers and their parent

Anguish
I can’t even begin to describe the emotions that I am feeling over reading Anguish. This book is a very good read and the author really knows how to get at the heart of her readers. But the raw emotions that I’d gotten just from the very first chapter sends chills down my spine even thinking about it. Poor Ben is so confused and in love with someone he thinks he shouldn’t be at the age of 14. He’s afraid to tell anyone because he fears their reaction. This book is very well written and I ...more

REVIEW - ✯✯✯✯✯
I volunteered to review this book without any promises about the review (the rating or the posting).
I was completely aware of the content warnings when I started this book. Even with that knowledge there was so much about my personal life that never made sense till now. I didn’t realize how much I would come to understand about depression and anxiety. I wish I had been exposed to this book when I was younger. I can imagine how different my life would have been.
