Description
Raised with apathy and spite, Amy’s life is a monotonous drone of deep despair, broken only by coffee and nights out with her best—and only—friend. She battles depression daily, fighting to keep her sanity in a world that, to her, is set on destroying her soul.
Her future is bleak, overcast with shadow and doubt; her past harbors terrible secrets that even those closest to her couldn’t begin to guess. When tragedy strikes someone she holds dear, will she succumb to the crushing weight of despair, or will she find the strength to fight—to live?
22 Scars is a story of what it takes to live daily with depression—and how the scars of a lifetime can pass through generations and beyond.
Can the past ever truly be forgotten?
Can depression ever be beat?

This book deserves 5 stars for originality alone.
I initially requested it through NetGalley but their file didn't work, and after reading the Amazon Sample I actually bought the Kindle version. It's that good!
It reads a lot like The New Yorker for YA actually. And the depression is approached internally not only externally on the screen - as in, while you're reading, you're pretty much feeling as confused and disoriented and unsure of anything as Amy herself.
Many will scorn that. I think in today's literary world of too many similar books, that's sheer brilliance.
The writing style is raw and frank, and authentic. And I am literally DYING to read anything else by this author.
If you're a reader tired of predicting exactly what happens or where the book goes - this book is a whole new joyride for you.
Thank you NetGalley for connecting me to this author.
