Smooth Passages:
ALS0109: 16 year old girl; suicidal.
FrozenRobot: 17 year old boy; suicidal.
Smooth Passages connects two unlikely teens in the most important moment of their lives: death. Aysel is convinced that every one hates her because her fathers crime was the talk of the town. When she see's Roman's post on Smooth Passages, she knows she has finally found her suicide partner. April 7th, that's when "it" happens. They'll jump at Crestville Pointe, straight into the Ohio River. But shouldn't they get to know each other before they die together? The two of them are battling very different demons. Yet they both blame themselves. Aysel should have been there for her father. Roman should have been keeping a closer eye on his sister. They connect on an emotional level and learn how to live with one another. Depression can't be the only thing they have in common.. They want to be understood. They understand each other. That's what makes life worth living, not physics or basketball. But the understanding of another human being makes all the difference.
This novel shattered my heart so many times.
Depression is a pressing issue in our society.
It takes the lives of many loved ones.
Rest in Peace to those who felt misunderstood.
If you feel misunderstood, please get the help you deserve.

You deserve to live.
