Description:

"I'm not okay!" I yelled at him. "Okay?! I'm not okay." My chest rose up and down as I breathed heavily. It had been years since I had a break down, and I wasn't going to have one right now. "It's okay not to be okay," he whispered, walking closer to me. He caressed my cheek, trying to sooth me. I stared at him, pain filled my eyes. I was trying hard not to cry. I couldn't cry. That's not what I did. "It's okay to cry," he comforted. His eyes stared so hard into mine I felt like he was seeing into my soul. "Crying shows weakness, and I'm not weak," I told him, swallowing hard. "Sometimes crying is the strongest thing you can do. It just shows everyone else that you're just as human as they are." And right then and there I started sobbing. I had lost all control of my emotions, I cried like I hadn't since I was little. All those times I didn't cry when I wanted to poured out now. The walls I spent so long building to make them unbreakable, broke.

Alana finds a thick orange envelope in her mailbox one day. No return address, no stamp or postage mark and it's not even addressed to her. Someone had just dropped the letter off in her mailbox. The only thing written on this envelope is "You might need this... or not." Alana takes it inside and begins to read the life story of a complete stranger. The life story of someone trying to find their place in this big scary world.

Opinion:

Lord God, I needed this kind of book right now, you know. This book is really about someone who's trying to find a place in this world, just like me and possibly you. It's about someone who only showed her vulnerable side to some people, maybe more people deserved to get to know that side of her, but she was just too damn depressed to care, and for once I can truly say that i really believed that you could trust that a hundred percent of what you did was the best at the time. It was a sad book, but it was the reality of that person. It was also a happy book in a weird way. It was like one of those books that help you shape your thoughts and decisions. In other words I loved it (and the quotes at the beginning of each chapter).
