There's a girl who's been broken and beaten until she's numb to the world. She's a piece of driftwood, floating across the ocean, having no control, and going under from time to time. Sometimes it gets too much. Sometimes she considers going under for good.

There's a boy who's known death like a brother, but spits in its face every chance he gets . Death nips at his heels in malice, frustrated that someone can live so truly and so deeply. There's nothing the boy celebrates more than his own life.

But what happens when this girl and this boy meet? How is it possible that two polar opposites could need each other so desperately to function? How can someone who stomps death underneath his feet every day mix with someone who struggles to just plain make it through every day? Read At the Corner of Live and Death to find out. 

Warning: This book is mature for a reason. Besides swearing and sexual stuff, there is going to be a lot of talk about suicide, as the main character struggles with depression. It is not meant to upset anyone, on the contrary, it is meant to help people who think either the world is too hard or there's no place for them in it. Please be aware that there will be dark moments in this book, so I wouldn't choose this if you find that hard to read

Alex is observant and sensitive, noticing details others miss. She has learned to hide her pain, adopting a "silent endurance" approach. But inside, she anger has been building for years, and it is starting to break through the surface. she once tried to be invisible, but now she is starting to realize that invisibility will not protect her anymore.

Everyone would call them ill fated lovers. They started their story without realising the end is sooner then expected. 2 guys who found comfort in each other. They were soulmates, atleast i would like to call them that. Life isnt all about flowers and butterflys but they knew that from a young age. One of them swore to never love someone but the other wanted someone to understand them. I hope you enjoy the book :) it definitely got some triggering stuff in it and it also got a lgbtq+ relationship in it. I hope you enjoy reading it if u do read it !
