A story that begins where too many others end, this stunningly written and unflinchingly authentic #ownvoices tale of love, loss, and hope will touch fans of All the Bright Places and Girl in Pieces.

Life’s tough when you didn’t expect to be living it. But now that Journey has a future, she apparently also has to figure out what that future’s supposed to look like.

Some days the pain feels as fresh as that day: the day she attempted suicide. Her parents don’t know how to speak to her. Her best friend cracks all the wrong jokes. Her bipolar II disorder feels like it swallows her completely.

But other days - they feel like revelations. Like meeting the dazzling Etta, a city college student who is a world unto herself. Or walking into the office of the volunteer hotline and discovering a community as simultaneously strong and broken as she is.

Or uncovering the light within herself that she didn’t know existed.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

I adored Faith Gardner’s THE SECOND LIFE OF AVA RIVERS so I’m especially disappointed to dislike GIRL ON THE LINE as much as I did. Gardner did a good job writing about Journey’s noncompliance with meds and her resistance to her bipolar diagnosis, although Gardner never had her main character develop insight that her needs didn’t supersede those of others in her life.

Here are a few examples of why I rated the book so low and why I’d never refer it to one of my clients (I’m a child psychologist).

-Journey gets a volunteer job as a crisis call center months after attempting suicide. The hotline apparently did no vetting for volunteers because she didn’t have to go through an interview process that discussed her own history with mental health to see if she’s fit to do the job, which she clearly wasn’t. She had no boundaries and couldn’t separate her own issues from the callers.

-Speaking of no boundaries, Journey has none. She tries to manipulate her boyfriend with suicide talk then won’t respect his boundaries and blames him for having boundaries because he doesn’t want to get back together with her. Even with her best friend, Journey doesn’t understand that her suicide attempt impacted those around her. Journey gets angry because her best friend won an essay writing about the impact of Journey’s suicide attempt.

I appreciate that Gardner was trying to show Journey’s journey to better mental health, it didn’t work for me.
