Mental health and wellness lie at the core of this novel in verse that follows high-school senior Chiara as she lives an ideal life: smooth sailing at school, a reliable babysitting gig, strong friendships, and a nurturing family, not to mention an opportunity to pursue her ice-skating dreams. But the world doesn't realize what lies beneath the surface, in Chiara's psyche. Despite her opportunities and blessings, she is plagued by unstoppable, violent thought patterns that threaten to take over her life. Though her ever-supportive and understanding family Indian Italian heritage courages her to try therapy, Chiara is too scared and embarrassed to share her thoughts and compulsions with anyone else, and she worries that if she doesn't get help, her life will spiral out of control. Through verse, Chhabra weaves a complex story of the fears and stigma associated with mental health and mental illness, and though readers should be prepared to encounter trauma and violent thoughts, it is a privilege to watch Chiara grow and take control of her life.
