Blurb:
Violet Holt has already met Death once.

After a failed suicide attempt, she finds herself dumped by her callous mother on the doorstep of her family’s desolate oceanside estate. With only the company of her estranged grandmother, comatose grandfather, and the monsters in her head, at least there was no one to interfere with her plans to try again on her eighteenth birthday.

No one, except maybe Jack: a skeleton of a boy who says he’s there to rake her grandmother’s leaves, yet seems more experienced at stalking than grounds-keeping. She knows he’s keeping a secret behind his gentle smiles and aloofness, but it’s difficult for Violet to be put off by his untimely thin-air appearances when figuring out the mystery of his true identity makes for such a good distraction.

Violet’s trauma is deeper than the wound on her wrist though, and it cannot be simply whisked away in a whirlwind of guessing games and pleasant gestures. She struggles to reconnect with her grandmother, find forgiveness for her mother, and closure with her grandfather’s dire condition, all while battling the strain of it all on her family. Even with a flicker of something hopeful blossoming within herself, Violet knows her birthday plans must be inevitable.

Death wouldn’t be there for her if it wasn’t.

REVIEW


I received an e-ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. 

Violet is sent away by her mother to her grandparents' estate after her failed suicide attempt. With her grandfather sick and he relationship with both her mother and grandmother estranged, Violet feels that everything is hopeless...until Jack.

Mysterious Jack who mostly prefers to stalk her and seems to know more about her than Violet thinks. And while she thinks more and more about the abyss, there is also a hope for more. The book is quite dark and deals with depression. Yet, there is a beauty in the dark writing and the thoughts of Violet who just wants understanding and feels lonely.

There are some things I didn't expect to read and surprised me, so I won't spoil for you. But Jack gave me vibes like Brad Pitt in the movie "Meet Joe Black". And honestly, I cried very much.
