Challenger Deep
by Neal Shusterman
This was another one that I read for the Read Harder Challenge (my choice for "A book with a main character that has a mental illness") and again, I'm glad for the nudge to get out of my comfort zone. This, too, was aimed at a younger audience and told the story of both the reality of high school boy Caden and the inner thoughts/imaginary life he wrestled with and was stuck in. It's a really interesting glimpse into how wild our minds can be, and how conflicting our emotions and feelings can be with what's really true. I found the story to be frustrating at times (it was hard for me to follow or connect with all of the imaginary things in his mind) but I was also really intrigued by putting myself in his shoes and mind completely throughout this book. It seemed to end really abruptly and in a way that didn't tie anything up for me which I wasn't a fan of, so it really was just okay in my opinion.
