  3. I love this list! I'm so glad you made it. Books are such a great way to help cope with issues and remind people that they are not alone. Mental illnesses have a habit making people feel isolated when in fact there are other people with the same diagnosis. I love Every Last Word! It's one of my favorite novels! I still need to read a couple on this list, but i'm excited to read them!
