He Made Me Stay

I have so many words that I'm also kind of speechless. THIS BOOK. It wasn't a long one, but it was so emotional and powerful that I bawled throughout the whole thing. Jasper has lost the other half of his soul. His twin brother, who is the other half of him, is gone, and Jasper is left all alone. He decides he can't leave his brother alone and makes up his mind to join him the same way he came into the world with him. But then Kit strolls into his life with his colorful clothes and curly hair and big smile. He radiates warmth and light. Too much Jasper doesn't want to feel because he's made up his mind already. But Kit doesn't let him go that easily. He asks him to stay. And so Jasper does. Because Kit asked him to. The grief in this book is sadly relatable to me as I'm sure to others as well. Kit may have saved Jasper on the day he was meant to end his life, but Jasper also had to fight and do the work to stay in the world. He just needed a reason, and he found more than he imagined.
