There is a reason why Shon is my favorite and this novella here shows why. It is not easy to find representation of depression where the individual does not seek professional help but this? This nailed it so perfectly. It hit so close to home that I wept several times during this read. Depression shows up so differently for everyone and to have a character depict what I feel on a cycled basis.. it just feels so good to be seen. Depressed girls need love and care too! Especially those who constantly have to show up for others

This story was literal perfection
