Summary
Because Oceane had just turned eighteen when she attempts to end her life, the hospital has to respect her request: to not notify her parents. Years later, when Oceane asked her mother to write something with her about that time, she never expects Cécile to already have so many pages hidden away, filled with words that had helped her make sense of her grief. In this book, Oceane pieces together her story through old diary entries, emails, hospital records and psychiatric reports, interspersed with Cécile's own accounts. Slowly, we learn about the traumas that forced the chasm between mother and daughter, as well as the college sexual assault that pushed Oceane over the edge. And as Oceane lets Cécile back into her life and they attempt to negotiate both the mental-health and legal systems, we also see the fractures start to mend
