Book Review: My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga

Synopsis:

Sixteen-year-old physics nerd Aysel is obsessed with plotting her own death. With a mother who can barely look at her without wincing, classmates who whisper behind her back, and a father whose violent crime rocked her small town, Aysel is ready to turn her potential energy into nothingness.

There’s only one problem: she’s not sure she has the courage to do it alone. But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel’s convinced she’s found her solution: a teen boy with the username FrozenRobot (aka Roman) who’s haunted by a family tragedy is looking for a partner. 

Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other’s broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it. Ultimately, she must choose between wanting to die or trying to convince Roman to live so they can discover the potential of their energy together. Except that Roman may not be so easy to convince.

Review:

✮✮✮✮✮

I hadn't expected to adore this book so damn much. I didn't think I'd love this book because of physics because I'm not really into science. That was the reason why I just kept this on my mobile library, I thought it'd be boring, and turns out: definitely not!!!!

The story's about the sixteen-year-old Aysel who wants to commit suicide but, at some reason,  she can't do it alone -- she don't want to do it alone. She then discovered a website named 'Smooth Passages' where suicidal people like her were in search of a partner. Aysel liked the idea of partners, the idea of someone who knows and feels what's she been going through, someone who can relate to what she's been going through. 

Roman, a seventeen-year-old boy and is in search of a partner too. When Aysel learned that FrozenRobot (aka Roman) is just 15 minutes far from her home, she then volunteered as his partner. 

But FrozenRobot was different from what Aysel has been expecting. 

It was indeed hard when you were once so sure of how things would turn out and then your feelings would betray you.

I loved this book,  every bit of it. Sure, this book is depressing, and that made me love it more. How exquisitely Jasmine Warga written the novel with such expertise, you'd really feel that she's been there. And also, with the Physics stuff, the potential energy. I was never into those subjects but now it made me think, why did I thought such fascinating subjects as boring?? 

This made me realize a lot of things. 

 It made me realize that although sometimes when life gets worse, it gets better eventually.

Do I recommend this book: ABSOLUTELY!!!

To whom: To Everyone!! Especially to all who's been there or who's going through depression. I hope and I know that this book would help.
