what I did not like about this book is two things, the repetitive concepts, and mostly its structure, its structure is flow is weird, hard to memorize, hard to understand, most of the books I read I memorize from its simple structure and ease in flow, but this one has a structure that I don't get yet. ideal si voleu explicar de manera senzilla com afecta la depressió al dia a dia d'algú, sobretot a gent jove.

It tells the story of a 14-year-old girl from Trinidad who spends the summer with her lesbian aunts in Canada. The summer helps her realize how toxic her childhood was and empowers her to gently advocate for better for herself. It’s overall uplifting and really sweet, especially seeing her aunts care for her and get excited about her life.The most compelling part of Home Home is the candid and simplistic examination of depression. Allen-Agostini uses simple devices to explore the seriousness of a mental health issue as it affects youth. Teenage outcasts are not new to young adult literature. In this treatment, concerns that may otherwise seem trite are given the amount of consideration they would in an average teenager’s life. The gravitas of an outfit choice or an argument makes even more sense when the stakes are laid out clearly for the reader. Kayla forms the cutest crush of the son of her aunt's ex-boyfriend. They soon bond over their untraditional lives and are able to give each other a safe environment to share their truths. How to introduce decorative elements that make for authentic interiors that make you feel and have an emotional connection.

Starting over: let go of the past and create a home for the person you are today, with a focus on decision-making and the art of editing. Throughout the story the cast of characters are introduced slowly, each being shown as they impact the main character’s realization of self and growth. Allen-Agostini is careful to give each character a voice though, so the reader can also understand how they would impact the main character. The use of characters is decidedly purposeful as each character — no matter how small- serves a purpose in the protagonist’s realization of self and coming to terms with the world. As readers learn a great deal about each character and their identity, the narrator is left somewhat ambiguous until her full self is actualized at the end.

Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery - the approximate delivery time is usually between 1-2 business days. Like I said, sometimes it did feel a bit like the author was trying to make a point a little too overtly (I felt this way when Josh was talking about his mom, his dialogue seemed a bit forced/fake to me for his age). But that didn’t severely detract from the story. At the centre of it all is Kayla. I loved that she was allowed to be ordinary. Even as others limited prejudices around mental illness impacted her, she too had her own misconceptions to unlearn about others. I loved that Allen-Agostini took her to a place where, faced with the possibility of returning to a more unsupportive environment in Trinidad, it would be harder for her but she would still be okay. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this arc, which I received in exchange for an honest review. I'll post that review upon publication.

A very short but impactful read. I enjoyed reading about a theme we don’t explore a lot in the Caribbean context and that is mental illness. I think the author did an amazing job of making this theme the forefront of the novel. I also loved the exploration of the mother-daughter theme- I thought more could have gone into this but I was impressed with what I read. I’m writing this review on World Mental Health Day 2018 which - appropriately - has the theme of ‘young people and mental health in a changing world’. Kayla is every adolescent who suffers from mental distress and illness. “I was really, really unhappy, like I had this big hole in my belly between my heart and my stomach and I couldn’t fill it with food or with love or books or anything and I just felt sad, all the time, all the time, all the time.” Home Home by Lisa Allen-Agostini is an excellent book about a girl from Trinidad who learns to deal with her mental illness.Home Home is about Kayla who after a suicide attempt is sent to live with her Aunt in Canada. There she tries to adjust to Canada while struggling with severe depression and anxiety.
