Saving Noah…🤯💔
5 ⭐️’s This book took an unexpected turn for me. I went in semi-blind, meaning, I knew of the book a little bit, but not fully understanding or grasping the concept of what I was getting myself into. It was painful yet beautiful. This book covers a topic that is extremely uncomfortable and definitely hard for a lot of people to talk about because it’s definitely not accepted and it’s definitely not OK. But Noah was suffering from something, mentally, that he tried so desperately to get away from. I didn’t expect this book to bring me so much tragedy but it did. I cried for the last three chapters in this book (maybe sooner) ❤️🩹 I’ll never forget Noah, I’ll never forget the choices that his mom had to make, I’ll never forget his little sister Katie, but I will forget his cowardly dog a** of a father for not being there for his family 😡
