About this listen

One second.

Seventeen-year-old Corinne has everything. Her life. Family. Friends. Boyfriend. But in that one second, she loses it all. Now she's left with harrowing nightmares. Hallucinations. And panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere. She tries everything to take the pain away, but there's only one option she sees as a true way out.

When Corinne is sent to live in a psychiatric institution, she doesn't want to talk. It's pointless. They can't help her. But slowly Corinne opens up and wants to remember what it's like to be happy so she begins reliving her past life to her doctor. She knows she can't live in the past, but she sees no future and is faced with the hardest decision of her life.

Depressing but reaching..

I did not like the narrator- the inflections with her voice just made it seem very fake.
The story line was pretty fake, some of the foreshadowing and dialogue were unrealistic and hard to believe it was coming from the characters as they were described.
Coming from a mental health background and knowing how the hospital setting goes and how suicidal situations are handled it was very hard to stay engaged with the story line.
I will give credit to the author’s portrayal of the feeling of hopelessness expressed by the main character, as that truly is how the suicidal ideation starts.
Three stars because it does have good points and can be relatable for those going through a difficult time.

One of the most depressing books I've ever read

This book, while being both frustrating and deeply depressing throughout, was very good. This book deals heavily with mental illness, suicide, death, guilt, so many heavy topics. I felt incredibly sorry for the main character, a 17 year old girl named Corrine who is dealing with a great amount of guilt while staying at a mental health facility. Not only is she dealing with suicidal tendencies, but a few of the people in her life act terribly towards her, including her own mother and one of her friends. Some of this book seems unbelievable, but it's sad to say that this definitely happens to people. Something tragic happens to them, and they don't have the best support group around them and they just make things worse. While this book is great for pointing these very important things out, this book was extremely depressing and not a fun read. I also wasn't the biggest fan of the YA romance/drama sections where Corrine is reminiscing about her past, but thats okay. This is a great book, but not one that I would ever want to read again. 4 stars.
