All Nitasha's parents want is for her to be the perfect Indian daughter-something she is decidedly not. Everything she does seems to disappoint them, especially her mom. They just don't get that she'll never be like her doctor older brother. To make matters worse, she's never quite felt like she belongs at school either, and lately, her best friend, Ava, and her crush, Henry, seem to be more interested in the rich new girl than in her. Alcohol takes the edge off, but when that doesn't work, Nitasha turns to cutting. She can't stop asking herself: Will she ever be enough for her friends or her family? Or even for herself? This authentic and powerful teen graphic novel debut from Jyoti Chand and Tara Anand shines a light on how harmful the stigma of mental illness is and how lifesaving a community that is honest about mental health can be.
