This Is Me Trying by Racquel Marie
4.0
dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

starting off strong with the title being a taylor swift song. ending off strong with the title matching the book perfectly. 
this book was a heavy read, so proceed with caution, but i think it portrays grief in a variety of ways that aren’t often portrayed in media. everyone experiences grief differently, and this book showed the process of everyone dealing with it not just the MC’s/POV characters.
