To This Day
A beautiful and incredible, sad and hopeful, brave and powerful book. A must read, sadly completely underrated. This speaks to anyone who has ever been bullied - or simply attended school.
Combined with stunning works by incredibly talented artists, this makes a unique novel raising awareness for depression and mental health.
Apart from that, it is a short but overwhelming and emotional read, that will make you cry and smile, nod and shudder, and just sit there for a while, contemplating life.
To This Day brought me to tears (while sitting in a busy public library). I will make sure to get a copy, for this is a book too inspiring not to read it all over again and again. And again.
And if you can't get hold of a copy of To This Day, you can watch/listen to it on youtube, where the author and many other artist brought the words to life. Just click here.
