Something Bright and Burning by Whitney Amazeen
5.0
emotional hopeful sad medium-paced

This story throws you right in at the beginning. I truly enjoyed the journal entries throughout the book because it gave a deeper insight on the mc’s thought process in a different and fresh way. 

A young 18 year old trying to figure out life after an unexpected pregnancy and her thoughts and viewpoints on life are so realistic.  She’s relatable and so mature in her thought process that only people who are forced to mature mentally at an early age would fully understand. Something I never would’ve expected happened and when I tell you I threw my phone in surprise. Holy wow.

“The trouble is, no matter how loud I scream, I can’t seem to hear my own voice.”

The poetry. I adored the poetry. It warmed my heart and ripped it apart in the same moment.
