Insight..

I love JLA, anyone who knows me well, knows the obsession I have with her as a person and a writer. With that being said she has always had this pull to me with her writing that made me feel more connected to her than other authors who wrote about similar things. Scorched is a book about depression. Depression for no reason and anxiety and coping and if I thought I couldn't love her or this book more I was wrong. After first seeing all the early responses to it and then Jennifer saying that she did write this book with a clear message and coming out with her own story about why she wrote this, I was more determined than ever to get all up in this. And I was not disappointed. I, like I'm sure so many others saw more than a little pieces of myself in Andy and in turn I know, pieces of Jennifer too. It gave me insight and made me love JLA that much more.
Sure this story dealt with the heavy, but It also dealt with the good parts of the heavy too. Stories like this, like Andy's and everyone out there who feels like she did, give me hope that it gets better.
