The Give Up Girl (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991136723)

In her first ever published work, Emily Wishart's The Give Up Girl outlines the sharp sting of heartbreak, the dull ache of grief, and, most importantly, the journey back to yourself. Chronicling the first year of grief and the emotional rollercoaster it brings with it, The Give Up Girl touches on the stages that wrack through you, the ones that often bring up past traumas and opening old wounds as well as rubbing salt in the new ones. Each poem is a reflection on the pain of loss and the gradual process of healing, finally pushing toward an end where we are certainly not the person we were before but we are working toward a new normal that doesn't feel so broken. Through evocative language and raw emotion, The Give Up Girl reminds readers that while the journey through mental health struggles is arduous, you are never alone and you should never give up, girl.
