Book Review: "Girl on the Line" By Faith Gardner



This took about an hour for me to complete and for good reason as it lacked substance.

The problem I had was with the constant discussion of suicide, bi-polar disorder, sexual orientation, and then seeking employment w/o vetting.

To further alarm readers Journey our main character is seeking to overcome past suicidal attempts but never fully recovers and in fact goes so far as to then encourage her own boyfriend to attempt to do what she had done w/o respecting his own boundaries or setting her own for her well being.

As someone who councils others from having experienced toxicity via malignant narcissism and domestic violence -I can't imagine handling such sensitive issues- in the manner in which we see displayed here.

It's quite alarming that this book was portrayed in this manner and in this fashion especially being a genre geared towards young teens and or adults.
