Why read it?
1 author picked Suicide Watch as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a lesser-known book, and I wish more teens had it in their library. There is no shirking behind any kind of veil or safety as Vincent weaves his way through his suicidal ideations, finds friendships, and navigates his health back to safety.

Bonus for animal lovers as Vincent spends a lot of time at the local animal shelter.
From Jolene's list on showcasing varied experiences of mental illness.
