It's a story close to my heart as it deals with mental health, which is a subject that I think people need to have more conversations about. This is a first draft so it's a flawed and a little incomplete here and there. (Much like myself it's a work in progress). If you enjoy it (which I hope you will) please comment and vote. Also I love feedback, feedback is my friend. ? Cover by the talented @annie-Joyce This story came third place in The Teen Fiction awards ❤️
