Book Review: "Juliet the Maniac" By Juliet Escoria

While the book notes it's fiction it seemed more like an autobiography written with the main character having first and last name of the author.

Weird, twisted, sad, heartbreaking, violent --all come to mind.

I'm not sure what was being referenced when Emily Gould noted,"Juliet Escoria's voice is unmistakable: riveting, harrowing, and funny." As I found nothing about mental illness funny but rather a cry for help and a voice being silenced.

Even the author's pic on the back of the book seemed dark, withdrawn, and sad.
I can only say that Juliet was quite the character who soon found herself immersed in a world of darkness, drugs, and suicidal self harming tendencies.

The ultimate guide is her inner strength to survive but will that strength be a beacon of light for hope and change?

I hope through this writing this books illustrates the need to seek a helping hand if you feel like your falling into this overwhelming darkness. Please know those who are suffering are never alone nor to blame. Help is available.
