See Me by Tella Alvarez
5.0
it takes so much courage, strength and devotion to start much less complete a novel that highlights 1 of the most common but overlooked issues in society. the underlying problems that arise from the issue were brought up too and aligned significantly with the story. the protagonist of this story was portrayed in such a realistic and believable manner. her struggles, her highs and her lows were captured vividly, without a doubt making me shed a few tears. the authenticity of the characters and plot was prevalent in the story and never left. in addition to that, there were so many relatable quotes and situations that made me pause and take a second to see if the writer was hidden somewhere in my room. the statements that were made held so much meaning and understanding, even the simplicity of them. one that stood out to me the most was 'i didn't even consider the evil inside our own brains', said by Seren. the representation and description of struggle was just so so raw and honest. 'see me' can truly help someone who has faced the issue in a major and even minor way.
