Explanation Toward Books Suicide Watch
18-year-old Vincent Hazelwood has spent his entire life being shuffled from one foster home to the next. His grades sucked. Making friends? Out of the question thanks to his nervous breakdowns and unpredictable moods. Still, Vince thought when Maggie Atkins took him in, he might’ve finally found a place to get his life—and his issues—in order. But then Maggie keels over from a heart attack. Vince is homeless, alone, and the inheritance money isn't going to last long. A year ago, Vince watched a girl leap to her death off a bridge, and now he's starting to think she had the right idea. Vince stumbles across a website forum geared toward people considering suicide. There, he meets others with the same debate regarding the pros and cons of death: Casper, battling cancer, would rather off herself than slowly waste away. And there’s quiet, withdrawn Adam, who suspects if he died, his mom wouldn't even notice. As they gravitate toward each other, Vince searches for a reason to live while coping without Maggie's guidance, coming to terms with Casper's imminent death, and falling in love with a boy who doesn't plan on sticking around.Details Epithetical Books Suicide Watch

This book was...it just was...HeartbreakingBeautifulRealResonantThere is not a soul who cannot identify with at least someone or something in this book.Vincent has a hard life. A product of the foster system, hes moved from home to home and never been able to find the right fit. So when he lands with Maggie and she takes care of him in the best possible ways--not by smothering him with emotion or with unreasonable strictness--but in ways that cater to Vinces personality and his story. With Maggie, it seems, things might actually work out for the best. So its fairly easy to see why Maggies death nearly destroys the fragile facade of Vinces life.
I have always liked Kelley York's writing style, since Hushed, with its simplicity, practicality and sincerity. It is truly fitting and effective to portray vividly and realistically the harsh life in general, as well as ones of Vincent, Adam and Casper. It easily went to my mind, my heart with a powerful strength in which I breathed and felt with the characters's emotions, especially Vincent's. Sad, lonely, desperate, suicidal Vincent.There wasn't a book before that made me tear up as much as
I honestly cannot write a review for this book. Not now, probably not ever. Also, I'm choking up again.So I'm not going to talk about plot/characters or anything of the sort. I just want to mention a couple things.This book is the kind of book that makes you want to change all your other ratings to one star because there is just so much distance between those books and this one, the kind of book that instantly enters your list of favourites and starts kicking the others in the balls just for the
Oh, this book. It broke my heart and then taped it back together. Dark, moving, and hopeful. Beautifully written.
So I accidentally read this at the same time as Julio. Review comes with trigger warnings for suicide, suicidal ideation and the occasional glancing reference to sexual abuse. It also contains spoilers which are likely to comprise a significant chunk of my musings, so while I wont be able to stick them in a tag, I will let you know when theyre about to hove into view.Okay, are we sitting comfortably?I think I was more positively disposed towards this than Julio. It was well-written,
