A review by bozzi1
Coming Home by Sawyer Cole Hobson

emotional funny inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

I’m about to drop from exhaustion and in no shape to write a proper post/review, but I finished my first book for the #transrightsreadathon last night and @colesbooknook ‘s debut deserves all the love. 

Sawyer, you made this momma cry, then laugh, then cry some more, but mostly you made me wanna drive to Wisconsin and give you a hug. 

I won’t. 
Don’t worry @alishareadsgoodbooks 😉 I’m not a stalker, I swear. But if I can ever make it to an author signing-you’ll be having those, I have no doubt-I’ll be there with open arms🤗

Coming Home is full of wisdom and humor, but it touches on a lot of painful topics so if you pick this one up I do recommend reading the content warnings thoughtfully included at the beginning. 

I think it will make an impact on anyone who reads it. I felt something with each chapter, but one quote has stuck with me since I closed the book…

“Suicide is never selfish. It’s the final act of depression. It’s the final act of emotions too big for a body that isn’t well-equipped.”

Mental health is a struggle for so many, especially those in the LGBTQIA+ community. Love without judgement or conditions may not heal the underlying condition, but it can make a huge difference in someone’s life; it can keep them alive. We can all use that reminder💛
