Kristyn’s search for answers

Kristyn’s self-harm sits within a wider tangle of pressures: grief after a friend’s suicide, heartbreak, online hostility, substance use, sexual experiences, absent parents and self-hatred. The book frames her journey of self-discovery around the question of why cutting becomes an answer to mounting problems. Alongside that subject matter, it provides crisis-intervention resources, including national centers and online support sites. The description notes strong language and non-graphic depictions of self-harm, drug and alcohol use, and sexual situations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults engaging with stories about self-harm and difficult social pressures.
  • Readers seeking a book that includes crisis-intervention resources and support sites.
