Kritik
"The book is written as an act of service for all unfortified youth, reading like a voice that cuts through static to say, 'I'm here, I'm listening.' To take things up a level, this book is not just a helpful tool for youth but also for anyone who has been affected by suicide. ..." (Kate Brennan, Fulbright Chronicles, Vol. 2 (4), 2024)mehr
