Please Stop Trying to Leave Me by Alana Saab
4.0
This is such a beautiful debut novel. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to receive a copy of this from Vintage.
To be honest, I had a hard time getting into the story initially. It's stream-of-conciousness style sometimes made it hard for me to figure out what line was coming from who. But it really, really adds to how remarkable this book is and the overall feeling the story gave me.
This book heavily delves into struggles with mental health and living life with trauma in a world that seemingly does not care about us as individuals. It also deals with the difficulty of being part of the LGBTQIA+ community without a support system.
And at the end, even through all the bad stuff, I still got the message that it does get better. I really loved this a lot and I'm happy I got to read it. Thank you again to Vintage for my copy!
