Every Breath After: part One (Lost Boys, #3)

TRIGGERS: Grief, mental illness (including suicidal thoughts and discussion), anxiety/panic attacks,  self-harm/self-destructive behaviors (on-page, as well as some "romanticizing" by MC), substance abuse/addiction, overdose on page, homophobia/misogyny/comphet (including slurs, not by an MC), bullying (not between MCs), and mentions of abuse of a side character.

Please note that while these issues are handled as delicately as possible, don’t anticipate anything to be watered down. This book is very character driven. Not everyone deals with grief, mental illness, and addiction the same way. This is how my characters deal with theirs. This book is intended for readers 18 years and older.  

This list of triggers can also be found at the back of the book, after the Acknowledgements. I ask that you not spoil them for readers who wish to go in blind. Please take care of yourself first and foremost.

*While there is dark, heavy content in this book, they are external factors.The dynamic between main characters is NOT dark.
