We’re talking about Books That Make You Accept that we are not always FINE, even if we say we are, and especially when we are teenagers.

There are many expectations put on us, especially as young adults. We are expected to roll with whatever life throws our way. How often do you say “I’m fine” when someone asks how you’re doing? We say it as a reflex.
