Über diesen Titel
"Unflinchingly irreverent, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartbreakingly honest." (Elizabeth Acevedo, National Book Award winner and New York Times best-selling author of The Poet X)
In the vein of powerful stories like The Hate U Give and The Poet X comes poet Morgan Parker's pitch-perfect novel about a black teenage girl searching for her identity when the world around her views her depression as a lack of faith and blackness as something to be politely ignored.
Trapped in sunny, stifling, small-town suburbia, 17-year-old Morgan knows why she's in therapy. She can't count the number of times she's been the only non-white person at the sleepover, been teased for her "weird" outfits, and been told she's not "really" black. Also, she's spent most of her summer crying in bed. So there's that, too.
Lately, it feels like the whole world is listening to the same terrible track on repeat - and it's telling them how to feel, who to vote for, what to believe. Morgan wonders, when can she turn this song off and begin living for herself?
Loosely based on her own teenage life and diaries, this incredible debut by award-winning poet Morgan Parker will make listeners stand up and cheer for a girl brave enough to live life on her own terms - and for themselves.
"Morgan Parker put THIS song on - and I hope it never turns off." (Nic Stone, New York Times best-selling author of Dear Martin and Odd One Out)
“A triumphant first impression in the YA space.” (Entertainment Weekly)
“An incredibly heartfelt, deep story about a girl's coming of age.” (Refinery29)

Kritikerstimmen
"This fresh read provides a positive and inclusive take on mental health and wellness and offers readers some tools to survive on their own.” (Booklist, starred review)
"A funny, clever, wild ride of a story about growing up and breaking free." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“Drawing on her own teen experiences, Parker (There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé for adults) adroitly touches upon matters of respectability and ‘presentableness,’ stigmas against discussing mental health issues in the black community and among young adults, and internalized and societal racism.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Such an important read!
This book is such an important read for not just people who have or currently are struggling with mental health issues, but also advocates/family & friends trying to understand their experiences.
Morgan Parker's story (based on this fictional/semi-biographical retelling of her life) gives a much needed insight into the experiences of young Black people. It is also rare to have the life of a Black woman/teenager portrayed which partakes in more alternative cultures, such as Emo etc. I'm sure that her sharing her enthusiasm for these movements validates a lot of young woman who can relate to her feelings of isolation and wanting to "fit in", whilst also partaking in their personal interests that go against society's expectations for them.
As someone who struggles with mental health issues, I really appreciated and related to the negative sides of depression and anxiety. It's not always a glamorizing experience, as can be sometimes taken away from movies or social media. And it's so important to validate and show those sides, too.
Thank you to the author for this wonderful read, I am sure to include it in my curriculum as a future teacher :)
Ps. The audio book is also very well read & produced and was very enjoyable to listen to, even though I (admittedly) sped it up a bit.
