Gabi has lost her grandad recently and isn't coping with losing her closest relative and friend. Though we learn he had a bad drinking habit and perhaps wasn't the best influence around Gabi in her mums eyes at least as she reveals her childhood wasn't nice and why her mum left and her dad turned to alcohol.
It's also quite ironic that her parents work in and live in a pub, so naturally her granddad would've visited the worst place for him to be around.
Gabi finds an outlet to reach out online to strangers about her self harm and even though she thinks she's hiding it well in real life, her friends and crush, Alfie along with her mum, soon catch on to what is happening.
This is a powerful book looking at the subject of self harm and I can fully relate to this story. For me the grief of losing a close family member also led me down Gabi's path. It may be hard hitting and graphic to some readers but for sufferers it shows there's hope and you're not a freak or alone with this issue.
Eve has written another astounding, had hitting book here, not one to be missed!
