My Heart and Other Black Holes

Aysel feels the dark sludge of depression daily and seeks a friend for the end of the world on a suicide partners' website. The story is honest, real and ultimately hopeful. There's depth to this one, tying together the theories of kinetic and potential energy through a school project, the pact, the future of the hero/heroine, and surrounding family. Well written in an introspective, detailed teen angst manner. Loved it and Rebecca Lowman is amazing.

I would definitely "read" this book again and again and again. Amazing characters, amazing story. As expected, the rain washed away all the dirt, but the suspension goes on and on. And finishing this today -April 4th- of all day just make this story comes to life, make me ask myself, where am I in this story? or hundreds of stories like this? I would definitely "read" the last chapter again on April 7th. For all Romans and Aysels.

Absolutely beautiful. I couldn't get enough of this story, and I only want to know more about Roman and Aysel.

This novel was a good quick listen and was easy to grasp. The two main characters are a little unlikable at first because they don't even like themselves and are both very depressed/negative. But ultimately their relationship helps them to see each other differently. The narration is some of the best I've heard on audible yet.

I was originally drawn to this book by its title and was not disappointed. I got into it and just wanted to keep reading. Very relatable for me on multiple levels.

This is an amazing book only heightened by a great reading. The characters were very real and sadly familiar.

This book is so beautiful and I think anyone could like this book. I read this book in one day because I couldn't stop listening...:)

Even though I had a pretty good idea of how it would end something about it brought me to tears. The entire book felt raw and real and is something that I don't feel is represented in this way often. It was honestly slightly depressing but completely refreshing.

All performance stuff aside, I want to rant a little about the story itself.

(SPOILERS)

So the beginning of the story was really intriguing. The sole focus was mental illness and suicide , which is primarily why I wanted to hear the story. Not because I'm an evil person who likes people committing suicide, but because I like stories that make me cry and sad for whatever reason .

Anyways, when the main character falls in love , I was still kind of interested in the story . but after a while I felt like it was much more about a love story and not so much about the original plot

I mean, where was the meeting with her dad? That was what I was waiting for. This problem that was set up as important and life changing and I felt like it was brushed off as nothing.

Excellent narration. I really liked how the author kept you hanging on to find out truly what the father's actual crime was. I also liked the end result.
