“This book, I feel a lot of burned out gifted kids can relate to.”
The book is worth a look if you enjoy stories with a melancholy and gloomy atmosphere. It may also appeal to those who appreciate narratives focusing primarily on a character's introspection rather than following a traditional plot-driven approach
Reading this book felt like going through a journal written by a burned-out, desolate, gifted student trying to get through life, slowly losing her last spark of wanting to live. The feeling of being depressed, anxious, and isolated is very relatable and understandable.
This is a book for all the girls who spent their childhood thinking they were destined for greatness and their teenage years feeling like the world was ending because they realised they weren’t.
This book really packs a punch emotionally. "Beyond Zero" proves that you don't need a bunch of fancy words or metaphors to convey strong emotions, you just have to be open and honest.
For those looking for a short, emotional read, this might be a good choice for you
If you are brave enough to read about someone struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, as someone who has been through it, it might heal a part of you you didn't know needed healing or know how to heal it.
Beyond Zero touched a part of me that was deeply hidden and very visible at the same time.
