Nine Days (Unfrozen Four Book 1)

Product Information

worlds worst book award!! did literally ANYONE read over this before it was published?? the gross misuse of the oxford comma and the general juvenile sense you got from the writing, if you told me a 10 year old produced this i would believe you. overall, horrifically written. Depression isn’t cute, and neither are suicidal thoughts. Research is a thing, and so is respect about the subject matter. So let me tell you why: how the book started caught my interest. I liked Lily from the start. The way the book showed her depression felt real and well transported. She got into my feels, I wanted to hug her and I could understand where she was coming from despite having a different view on things. I also enjoyed her first interaction with Colin. But in my opinion, the whole story stays on the surface...no iceberg that has so much more you can't see right away. I was hooked at the beginning but the book lost me inbetween. also the writing style was too immature for me and the characters were too childish for me, like the female mc was so selfish

the writing style. it written like wattpad. the author apparently could not say “I’ll”. she used its full form — “I will” — all the time. which was so off-putting and annoying. suffice it to say, the dialogue was flat. Lily Reyes is trying to win the fight against Depression. Well, more or less trying as childhood trauma lets her believe that the world is too cruel to be living in.In Lily’s world, everything makes as much sense as breathing underwater. Yet, as s... the fmc’s personality changed almost drastically in between. i thought her outlook would change steadily, slowly, so readers could follow along without getting confused, but it didn’t.also this is irrelevant but if a stranger told me they loved me after spending seven days together i would actually throw up and laugh in their face This book was a rollercoaster of emotions, and I ate up every damn second of it. It made me laugh and cry all at the same time.

Nine Days (Unfrozen Four Book 1) - Kindle edition by Falk

the plot didn’t revolve around it, but a major part of the story — a story about depression — was sex. it felt wrong. i also don’t understand how aaron knew the whole time but acted like he didn’t? that was meant to be a plot twist but it was just stupid because no one ever did anything about that information. it didn’t make any sort of sense😭 And the plot. Oh boii, don't even get me started. My jaw was on the floor, together with my soul and litres of my tears. im not even done w this book but i HATE IT SO MUCH and i need to warn everybody not to read this book or series or anything by this authoryeah i get it your mom wants you to die so you do want to die but is that really good enough to kill yourself. sorry for being insensitive to this but i think the author was just milking it atp i swear to god we need to return to the 1950s and read good classical books bc im so tired of bad comperary books trying to make money off of random tropes authors think we like

Nine Days (Unfrozen Four Book 1) eBook : Falk, Joelina

honestly if the author wants to take a go at suicidal people she needs to interview them well first. i doubt someone just suddenly decides to not die bc of some boy she met like 9 days ago. (and a shitty boy at that) I thought so too. Thought maybe...just maybe, this might be a 5⭐ read if it just gets a little bit deeper, digs deeper into Lily and Colin. How Lily describes depression, how her mood varies from semingly okay to just wanting to die in the span of a few sentences in her journal is so accurate. I am happy it shows how bad depression can get without a "reason", because I think that it is so rarely shown but so common. In Lily’s world, everything makes as much sense as breathing underwater. Yet, as she is preparing her goodbyes, Lily makes one little mistake. I didn't think I'd ever relate as much to a character as I do to Lily Reyes. She's the sweetest and realest person I ever truly read about. Her inner monologue portrayed her depression amazingly, as so did the letters she wrote. Her thoughts were everywhere, jumping from one to the other which I think is pretty realistic for an over-thinker and depressed person.

I actually cried with certain bits and especially with Collins sister and when he explained about his brother omg my heart couldn’t handle it and when he was reading Lilly’s journal my heart broke .. However, the amount of people who knew how bad she was or suspected, and not acted at all to do anything. The younger people I get more, because they are trying to be loyal and not make things worse, but even the older adults who suspected did nothing. And despite showing how much Collin struggled with his brother's suicide and felt he should have done something to stop it, he doesn't do anything to stop Lily. He romanticized that his love would save her, and thats very dangerous. who the hell randomly leaves after doing it for the first time though i have to admit his story was really sad. almost sad enough for me to have wanted him to be suicidal rather than her. This is somehow both a very good and accurate representation of depression and being suicidal, and a horrible way to deal with a suicidal person. other than all of that, almost all the characters were vanilla and boring and done before. i almost dnf’d, but I’ve dnf’d three books in my life, and i tried not to give up on this one.
