Why read it?

1 author picked Fragile Lives as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book deals with how easily people can put on masks of happiness when, in all reality, they're battling to stay alive.

The character of Archie/Stephen in this story has so many layers and comes off as a worldly voice of reason to his friends, solving all their problems, but within his own life, he battles with thoughts of suicide.

The author is a master at bringing characters to life and showing all their flaws. Her characters feel so real, and the love story that develops and the way the healing of life ensues is just breathtaking.
