About this listen

Every bite Kendra takes is a battle. Rosie can’t control her mouth. Alex struggles to keep his head above water. Tyler’s world has come crashing to his feet. Ricky’s anger threatens to spill over.

Told through a series of shifting perspectives, five strangers, nothing but blurred faces in a crowded high school hallway, come together in search of solace, support, and comfort. Together, they help each other realize that although life may not be perfect, the world around them can still fall perfectly into place. But one of them may be beyond help.

Will they be able to reach out in time to pull their friend out of the darkness, or are they already too late?

Folks, this book has ALL the representation. (okay, so not *all* the representation, but lots of it) Please be aware that this book could have a long list of trigger warnings, including bullying, anorexia, self-harm, homophobia, anxiety, and physical abuse, to name a few - and they're all delicately and respectfully done. (at least as far as I can tell - I can't say I have personal experience with all of these)

The real beauty in this book was seeing all the main characters slowly find and help each other, to see how they lift each other up and help the rest of their group grow. The support system shown in this book was beautiful.

I loved the narration, too. Every character was voiced by a different voice actor, which really brought out their different personalities. There were some differences in sound quality (maybe to be expected with such a large cast!), but overall, it was really well done and I recommend the audio version.

lots of trigger warnings, all respectfully done
