My Heart and Other Black Holes - Jasmine Warga Fair warning, I'm putting on my "Mom Hat" here for this "young adult" book. I thought that this book was very good, VERY good for the first 95% of the book then it shifted on it's head. I was so impressed by the author's ability to really descri...

I am not going to say that suicide has become a popular topic, because it hasn’t, and still deserves much needed attention, but there has been far greater instances of it being picked up as a topic.

My Heart and Other Black Holes was obviously an important book for this author, the heart of it is full of a depth of emotion and shows a writer baring her heart a little.

It’s bittersweet. I was anxious to read this novel as this title has been posted everywhere and I have been good and haven’t read any postings as I didn’t want to spoil my read. To make a suicide pact, this seemed like a bizarre concept and then to stretch that idea further and commit that act with ...

"If I have a boyfriend, his name is Death. And I’m pretty sure Roman is in love with him, too. It’s like a love triangle gone wrong . Or maybe it’s a love triangle gone right: we both get the guy on April 7." That (assisted suicide) is the basic premise of this amazing surprise of a stand alone ge...
