What We Saw: Book Review

Hello everyone, i just finished reading this book and i wanted to review it. I will from now on put the summary of the book so that people can sort of get the concept of what this book is and then afterwards i'll share my thoughts about the book without revealing anything.

Summary: The party at John Doone's last saturday night is a bit of a blur. Kate Weston can piece together most of the details: Stacey Stallard handing her shots, Ben Cody taking her keys and getting her home early... But when a picture of Stacey passed out over Deacon Mill's shoulder appears online the next morning, Kate suspects she doesn't have all the details. When Stacey levels charges against four of Kate's classmates, the whole town erupts in controversy. Facts that can't be ignored begin to surface, and every answer Kate finds leads her back to the same questions: Who witnessed what happened to Stacey? And what responsibility do they have to speak up about what they saw?

My Review: I personally really liked this book, i think this book takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions with Kate and the decisions she makes throughout the book. I would recommend this book to a lot of people because i think it would be great to give out more awareness over this whole topic, especially with younger adults, which is exactly the targeted demographic for this book since it is YA. If i read this book sooner i would've made different decisions than what i've done now, because reading this book made me reflect on the decisions i've made and although i'm just proud of myself overall for speaking up i could've done it at a much earlier time. So to read this book and sort of relive certain experiences it really made me appreciate exactly where i am in my life. I've gotten help for myself and the worst has already passed. This book could potentially give others the chance to experience something they never really thought of, so i would really recommend this to anyone, it's an easy read and it definitely is entertaining.

Coping With Isolation

I hope everyone's doing well with all that is going on. I'm sure one day we will all be able to engage in the lives we once had before any of this happened. But for now all that we can do is keep ourselves afloat and balanced. How do you cope with isolation? How are these times treating you? Are you doing stuff you love? Stuff you wished you had more time for and now that you do are you trying to take advantage of it? One of my loves has always been writing because it's my form of expression, I think sometimes written words convey a lot more of my emotions than when I say them out loud. And throughout this time I've been at least trying to incorporate writing, and I've started to write letters to my friends. My friend reached out to me recently and asked if I wanted her to write me a letter, and honestly words can't describe just how giddy I felt in that moment. Of course I would agree to it, why haven't I done this sooner? Why are we not connecting like

Overcoming Self Harm Trigger Warning

Before I begin to talk about everything that's happened with me lately i want to put this up in case anyone who is reading this needs to talk to someone... National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 . I'm not exactly sure where to start with this post. I have a lot of racing thoughts as to what exactly i want to say. I'll start off by stating my age, i'm currently 20 i will be turning 21 in august. I'm very young, i'm aware of it but it doesn't mean my emotions and or feelings are not credible to this topic because i've dealt with a lot of shit from my childhood up until now and experiences always give a lasting impression to me at least of how you can shape yourself as a better person.. what do these experiences give you? whether it's bad or good.. do you make something out of it? I'm still trying to process that within myself. I have had a traumatic event happen in my life when i was very young... and till this date it is my bi

My Big Secret

I've had a big secret that i've kept to myself for a long time and basically within last year and this year i've come forward and told a couple of people of what's happened to me. There's only two people that actually know everything about it which was my ex and also my health counselor. But i've told more people now about it... probably about 3 more people know about this as a general topic more than knowing each detail... but any progress that i made helped me a lot in the end. It's hard to even type this out but i was sexually abused as a child by someone that i consider close to me. I don't want to give out full details on anything at this moment. But i do want to use this space as something that i could both learn from as well as heal from. This whole blog has really shaped my view on what i've been wanting to do my entire life.. and mental health is such a big influence for me. I've always love learning about psychology and it's a
