BOOK BLURB
Ever feel so alone like no one sees the real you? As if no one could possibly understand what you are going through?

Meet Phoenix who is exactly like that. She wakes up every day just to battle the demon in her head. She is tired of opening her eyes every day just to have to battle Monty in her head. Then she meets Asher. A young man who is determined to show her she is worthy, wanted, loved, beautiful beyond a doubt, he wants to show her that she is enough and more, but will that be enough. Take a walk in the footsteps of Phoenix as she not only navigates a love life, but also her mental health issues at the same time.
MY REVIEW
Phoenix is a young woman who has been through so much. Every morning she wakes up and has a daily battle with the demon in her head. The thoughts are sometimes over powering and oh so overwhelming. Until the day a gorgeous young man walks into her life and makes her realize that life can be worth living and love can happen even to those that think they aren't worth loving . Together they will travel a road full of bumps and pot holes to finally maybe find the love that Phoenix deserves .
This is one book that when you start you can not put down. Phoenix is a sweet girl who has been battling demons from the time she was young. The voice in her head , Monty is there to put her down and make her feel like she is going crazy on a daily basis. She feels like she will never win against him but she is stronger then she realizes. She is a fighter and you see her fight everyday even when she is too scared to talk to anyone because she is afraid someone will call her crazy. The one person who is there for her is Asher , the boy that came into her life and started to make things feel normal. He has a calming way and understands Phoenix. The other main character in this book is Monty the voice in Phoenix's head . He is well actually pure evil and you will hate him . Each character has been well written and complex . You really just want to give each of them a hug well everyone but Monty. Phoenix really got to me and pulled my heart strings over and over .
This is one of those stories that will have you crying through out . It is a heart wrenching look at what could happen to those who are scared to get help because they don't want to be branded crazy. There are so many trigger warnings in this book so please check them before reading . Toxic family, , depression, childhood trauma are just a few. This is one of those books that is heavy but is must read . It ripped out my heart but also stitched it back together. This a book that you should add to your fall reading list .
