“A beautifully crafted, dark, and heartbreaking look at depression and suicide. Ellery’s story is needed and necessary; Chapman is a writer to watch.”

Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces

“In this stunningly brave and necessary debut, Erica M. Chapman takes us on a journey to the edge and back—exploring grief, depression, and suicide with candor, insight, and above all, hope.”

Amber Smith, New York Times bestselling author of The Way I Used to Be

“Chapman has crafted a hauntingly beautiful story with richly developed characters. A moving tale to recommend, especially to readers who loved Jennifer Niven’s All the Bright Places.”

– School Library Journal

“Ellery’s voice is engaging and authentic, and her edgy black humor comes into play…. Sadness gives way to redemption and an unforced hope in this thoughtful read.”

– Kirkus Reviews

“A gorgeous ode to the hopeless…”

– Teen Vogue

“Thoughtful, tough, and darkly funny novel.”
