No one usually talks about suicide saving your life; not because people don't like talking about it, but because it just doesn't happen. Except it did happen, to me. I don't even know how it happened, I mean the whole point of suicide is that you're supposed to die. But all it did was make me feel more alive.
Following our main character to the psychiatric ward in her hometown, we see how trying to commit suicide opens her up to a whole new journey, while saving her life in the process.

There is obviously a huge trigger warning for this whole book, starting with suicide, self-harm, sexual assault, and other tough topics. I would suggest clicking off this book if any of these topics trigger you in any way, but if not, I hope you enjoy!
