Mental Illness in YA Month Review: Whisper to Me by Nick Lake (#Ad)

Whisper to Me by Nick LakeWhisper to Me by Nick Lake 

I was sent this review copy for free by Bloomsbury Chlildren's Books for the purposes of providing an honest review.

Cassie is writing a letter to the boy whose heart she broke. She’s trying to explain why. Why she pushed him away. Why her father got so angry when he saw them together. Why she disappears some nights. Why she won’t let herself remember what happened that long-ago night on the boardwalk. Why she fell apart so completely.

Desperate for his forgiveness, she’s telling the whole story of the summer she nearly lost herself. She’s hoping he’ll understand as well as she now does how love—love for your family, love for that person who makes your heart beat faster, and love for yourself—can save you after all.
From Goodreads.

Trigger Warning: This book features self-harm, with Cassie's voice telling her to hurt herself, and murder.
