This is an emotional story of finding yourself when you’ve lost yourself to the darkness. What does that mean? I’m guessing for everyone it’s different, but for me that darkness was anxiety and depression. 

I had a feeling this story was going in the direction it did because the thoughts of the main character mirrored my own in a scary way for awhile. The main character, Kyla, wakes up in a world of her own creation, or so she thinks. She’s an author who has been asked to rewrite a large chunk of her book by publishers and she is resistant to doing that. She planned to Kill her Darlings and that’s what she’s going to do. The publisher disagrees that most of the main characters need to die at the end. She uses a lucid dream to join the world of Solera and then discovers she can’t wake up - but why?

There are some pretty severe triggers in this book and the biggest one is attempted suicide. I do not at all recommend this if that’s a trigger for you since it’s in here with enough detail to allow us to know exactly what happened. However, if you do your due diligence and find that the triggers in this book won’t bother you, I definitely recommend it. It’s a glimpse into the mind of someone with depression and it’s really good.
