Book Talk: Book Review (spoiler Alert!!!)

Hey guys, I'm here with a review over Keep Holding On by Susane Colasanti. This book is about Noelle and all the thing that is thrown at her within the tail end of her junior year of high school. She deals with a mother who has checked out for the most part. Jerks at school picking on her as she tries to do her best not to show her mother checked out. Old friends who just want to leave her behind and join everyone else in putting her down. A so call boyfriend two-timing her and keeping her a secret from everyone. Along with all of this a classmate that could have been a friend killing herself. This last thing snaps her out of her funk and makes her want to stand up for herself more. As she becomes done with people picking on her she learns that there are people at her school who does care about her, and will be there for her and stand beside her. This book made me want to continue to read, but also I didn't want this book to end I had a connection to the made care. I personally had a parent check out and like in this fantasy that they had it so fucking hard and the world was out to get them, and I had those thoughts of maybe it best I wasn't around. I will say on that note this book kind of just gloss over self-harm and suicide both are mention or hinted at, but never fully talk about. I will say the edition I got does have sights teens can go to. overall I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. happy reading and let me know if you read this book and your thoughts on it.
