Dani is starting her last year of college. She is determined to become completely independent. She is a A scholar who has anxiety issues that she battles on a daily basis. She is an introvert who struggles to leave her comfort zone. With the help of her best friends Kyle and Tanya she has survived so far.

With her awkward family demanding her time and her friends pushing her to be more social, Dani faces her toughest challenges yet. Her physiatrist wants her to move past her comfort zone and start dating again. After her last relationship of abuse, Dani is finding this to be a hard step. When a stalker starts leaving threatening notes and she starts seeing things, Dani begins to wonder if her ex is after her again.

Can Dani survive her senior year and live to tell about it?

If you are looking for an emotional read, then this book is for you. It really digs deep and touches on a subject that many people struggle with everyday. Mental Illness. Dani has several people in her family that suffer from mental illness and Dani herself struggles with anxiety and social awkwardness. She is always second guessing her decisions and conversations. She has to be perfect at her studies and she is extremely hard on herself. In this book you get to see Dani grow and learn to cope with her disabilities and fall in love. It is a tough road for her, but she is a strong girl.

This book was a steady read. Not really a thriller, but does have some suspense and a bit of danger in it. This book will reach down into your soul. You can’t help but feel for the Dani and love her. There were times when I felt she was blind to some things going on in her life, but she figures it out.

Overall this is a very good read. One that feels real, with real life problems. An emotional roller coaster, with wonderful characters. If you love books that deal with depression and different levels of mental illness, then this book may be up your ally. It is well written and enjoyable.
