Raw and compassionate. Kirkus, starred review
How do you face your fears when everything is terrifying?
Fifteen-year-old Brynn cant stop thinking about death. Her intrusive thoughts and severe anxiety leave her feeling helplessand hopeless. So after her mom interprets one of Brynns blog posts as a suicide note, she takes extreme measures, confiscating Brynns phone, blocking her Internet access, and banishing her to stay with her father who lives off the grid on a houseboat in the Florida mangroves. Isolated from her online friendsher only friendsBrynn resigns herself to a summer of mind-numbing boredom and loneliness until Skylar appears.
Skylar is everything Brynn isntsultry, athletic, and confident. Yet Brynn feels at home around this fearless girl who pushes her to try new things and makes her belly flutter with nerves that have nothing to do with anxiety. When Brynn discovers that Skylar is trapped in the bayou and cant tell her why, she resolves to free her new crush from the dark waters, even if it means confronting all of her worst fears.
Through Brynns funny and sincere narration, The Immeasurable Depth of You explores the ways mental illness can impact a life by centering a character who is learning (sometimes messily) to accept all parts of herself.
