2025 book 68

 Melina Marchetta’s Saving Francesca

I got into one of those moods where I started like five different books and none were grabbing me, and the only cure is to reread something I love. So here we’re revisiting a story about a teenage girl whose mother has severe depression, and meanwhile the girl is dealing with a new school and her own mental health issues. But also there is so much love in this book, I love stories where people come together and form friendships and communities. Really gets me in the gut.
