But to be honest I m still really in my feels about it I fully connected to the story and the characters I couldn t stop reading even when it was so late into the night I m typically a fantasy fan but this ya contemporary had me hooked I instantly fell in love with the main characters Lora and Harper Even the side characters were memorable But I will say I connected the most with Harper and the love I have for this character and the way the author so perfectly describes mental health The author has an amazing magical way with words that make you feel that you are right there alongside the characters.

I learned about Lora s character and how she really was looking for someone to save She projected the loss for her brother onto Harper and I really struggled with that Lora s consistent theme in the 50% I read was that she felt constantly compelled to save and fix everything I appreciate that she was flawed and contained a lot of aspects of self doubt This ultimately made her complex I will say that this story is beautifully written and Ryan does a great job at describing and creating the story and the world I m drawn to her writing but also struggled with some aspects of this story The medical scenes that take up the first half of the book feel like a weird episode of Greys Anatomy I have to admit that reading medical inaccuracies even in a fictional format angers the crap out of me A nurse would never let someone into a complete stranger s room after she finds him.

If there had been descriptions I feel like I would have been able to feel for Lora and understand what she said and her reactions better This kind of goes along with my desire for descriptions but the chapters were very short I don t mind shorter chapters but these felt very short which had me feeling like as soon as I got into a chapter I was shoved out of it and into another scene I think this added to my difficulty of not being able to be fully immersed in the story I also felt that there was lacking in the research given to in patient care and the representation of self harm and suicide was a bit surface level Since the book was centered around it I was expecting a better and accurate representation of not only these but PTSD too Without spoiling anything.

Site_link post a commentWhat will a single moment do to Lora s life When on a chilling winter evening she discovers Harper in a time of need When the past decides to make a reappearance what can you do What happens when your childhood home is not yours any The two worlds of Harper and Lora collide and an unconventional friendship forms Together they must learn to navigate their complicated pasts but strictly as friends More Than Us steers through the complexities of mental illness and loss and showcases that we are all than our pasts More Than UsI believe books about mental health are so important and wished books like this existed when I was a teen It was so beautifully written that I could feel my heart break with such powerful lines about loss healing and grief I was invested not only in Harper and Lora s relationship but their journey towards healing There were times when I could feel the pain that the author painted with her words and that is such a powerful thing. Book more than meets the eye I m a nurse and worked with many teenagers admitted for depression and suicidal ideation in the past Therefore the parts of the story with Harper s hospitalization were not as accurate as I would have hoped In reality there are very strict rules for visitation assessments and discharge That is my complaint but apart from that I do think the author captured the emotions of two struggling teens. Book more than cake I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review Ryan Jones Ryan s writing is simply beautiful and flows with grace I was completely immersed in this book the entire time desperate to see how Harper and Lora s relationship would unfold My boyfriend and I met in college and so I couldn t help but smile as I was reminded of those memories of us Ryan did a great job at putting you in the mind of a college student bringing me back to dorm life with ease. More than words book pdf Lora deals with her brother s suicide while Harper struggles with his own mental illness and bringing the two together creates a lovely broken dynamic I really did love this story it was heartbreaking but a romance story I was desperately craving. Words using letters more than once Some of the problems I had however was the main character s actions responses I m sure it was just her personality because some people aren t as talkative as others but I found Lora a bit bland I knew she had walls up and I knew her past but I didn t know why she was so cold around Harper especially knowing what he was going through I would have loved to SEE her love for him putting all of her time on him and I d love to FEEL her heart pounding around him She said that she was falling for him near the end but I couldn t help but feel as though she didn t actually like him and thought of him as just a friend and I even felt bad for Harper at times he was trying so hard But of course there were plenty of adorable scenes of them and I couldn t help but smile I don t have a mental illness so of course I can t put myself in Harper s head but I don t know how I feel about the ending just yet I didn t feel sad but angry Harper s decisions at the end almost cut me out of the story moving fast and occurring suddenly I ve decided that I prefer the story ending at Christmas but then again I m a sucker for happy endings.

Are used cars selling for more than blue book When I started this book I was immediately pulled in The first half was raw full of emotion and had heart hardship and truth While Ryan didn t go much into the process of being in a psych ward or discharge protocols I think the author was focusing on depression and the implications it can have on a persons life. How to american epub Unfortunately the second half fell flat for me It felt rushed and superficial and left a lot to be desired I could not feel a connected between the two main characters especially in a romantic way It felt forced and was really lacking that buildup I look for in books It s a good story and I loved the first half I recommend it as it does discuss mental health and depression and shows somewhat how people with depression deal with it Trigger warning suicide mental health issues depression Ryan Jones DNF 50% Rating 2. More than useless relient k TW Suicide Self Harm Mental Illness Grief Some spoilers so read with caution I will be rating this book despite DNF ing it at 50% There is a reason for my DNF and I ll explain my thoughts fully Almost 5 years ago I lost my grandfather to suicide so due to my experience I m considered a suicide loss survivor Similar to Lora Before this experience I openly read books with the situations surrounding mental illness and suicide and after this experience I perceived them in a new light they also triggered me More Than Us seems less like a love story and like a story of a girl who struggles with the fact that she couldn t save her brother after losing him to suicide Lora is going through a traumatic grief cycle and when she finds Harper she is given an opportunity to save him Throughout the 150 pages I read would never say because you have a good heart I ll essentially break the law for you That is so grossly inaccurate and pissed me off completely Also I struggled with the fact that Harper wasn t taken aback but this complete invasion of privacy Not only does Lora stay but she goes through his personal items Both the Doctor and the Nurse break the law in a mental health ward and it makes me upset I think it would ve made the story believable if Harper had fought with Lora instead of just accepting it and being like wow someone did something good for me my faith in humanity is restored I feel like if the author had consulted a medical professional and actually researched provided accurate descriptions of the psych ward this part of the book would ve been better for me Also I wanted to note that the character of Lora s roommate was the most real person in the first half of this book and actually pointed out something truthful that Lora needed to hear I can t say if their relationship improves but I m happy that someone held Lora accountable I DNF d this story due to my own personal experiences after Lora hiding the suicide note I felt very uneasy and started thinking of my own trauma because of that I decided for my own personal reasons to put it on hold Maybe in the future I ll revisit this story but I m excited to read future books by Ryan Ryan Jones I was given an e ARC of this book in exchange for a voluntary review More Than Us is a contemporary novel that focuses around mental health The novel follows Lora and Harper and both their mental health journeys but is told from Lora s perspective A few trigger warnings about this novel there are mentions of self harm suicide PTSD and anxiety Additionally there is also details of self harm that might be triggering to some readers I appreciated Ryan s candid discussion of mental health within this story and how both Lora and Harper s experiences were quite different despite their similar mental health struggles Self harm is not something that is often spoken about in literature and the subsequent and underlying reasons as to why an individual self harms is a complex one to discuss Despite this I think Ryan did an excellent job keeping a vulnerability around this topic Ryan is a very talented writer but this being said I don t think this book accurately displays that There were a few qualms I had with this story Lora in my personal opinion is quite a flat and a bit of a robotic character I d like to think this was an author s choice to try to center the conversation around mental health and not Lora but I felt that she was hard to like because she was a bit of a guarded narrator I also felt that sometimes I was being talked at as the reader and not immersed in the story by descriptions There were very random points in which descriptions would set the scene and help me feel what the character was feeling but often I felt like I couldn t really picture the scenes that were unfolding In addition to this there was a lot of dialogue once again I think this was a stylistic choice in letting the character s words do the talking but because of this I felt like there was a lot missing that could have really rounded out this novel For instance I was quite disappointed with the last 1 4 of the novel There were a lot of time jumps that took place and since we only got Lora s perspective I felt that the story ended up lacking a lot of what could have really made this a poignant read If we had been able to have Lora and Harper s points of view both demonstrating their struggles with detail there could have been a better connection made between the reader and the characters The ending due to the time jumps ended up feeling really rushed to me Despite my critiques I did enjoy this read but I think I was hoping for a bit than what it was I still appreciate the candid discussion of mental health in the contemporary genre Admittedly I have only recently gotten into reading contemporary novels so someone who prefers the genre might like this book I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys Young Adult literature mental health representation and enjoys a little romance Ryan Jones Thank you so much to Zenith Publishing for sending me a review copy of More Than Us This review is my honest opinion 3. Pdf more than usual size 5 stars I really enjoyed reading More Than Us I appreciated that Jones explored a tough topic with her story Her characters struggles felt real but I loved that their personalities weren t limited by their mental health and that their passions and the other parts of their lives were explored throughout the story too. Book more than words Some things I didn t enjoy the book overall felt a little slow and I think this was because Jones tended to describe small scenes in a lot of detail For example no spoilers in one scene our main character Lora takes a taxi to an event A few pages are spent describing how she got into the taxi the price of the ride what the driver said etc. Kindle more than user but I think just saying she took a cab ride over would have sufficed and sped up the pacing of the book Having said this a slower pace can be a good thing in a character focused book So this is of a personal preference than anything. More than useful synonym I also noticed that Jones s side characters sort of floated into and out of the plot With the exception of Lora s parents they didn t have much of an effect on the story and they themselves did not have goals or conflicts to merit their place in the book At the ending I wondered why they were included simply because they acted as decorations to the main characters rather than as people However I did think they were realistic and well rounded I just would have liked to see some involvement and details surrounding them many of them disappear towards the ending. Can you use an enchanted book more than once I loved Ryan s prose and there were several moments in the book that left me feeling awed by her writing However sometimes she described ordinary things in very prose y detail which took the punch out of her best moments I would have loved to see that skill focused in places where it has the most impact. Epub more than usable Finally the ending of More Than Us did not feel super satisfying to me Part of this is the nature of mental illness and the fact that not everyone gets a happy ending no spoilers but I did think that it was a bit abrupt and seemed to come out of the blue Because of the nature of the ending no spoilers the tone of the narrative changed very quickly causing a sort of literary whiplash Although the overall pacing of the book was on the slower side I actually think we needed time spent on the last 1 5th of the book or so. Book more than words Overall Jones delivered a heart wrenching story that opens the reader s eyes to the realities of living with mental illness and of loving mentally ill people This was a fresh perspective on an important topic and was three dimensional than many other portrayals of illness I ve seen which I really appreciated I would recommend this book to readers who are looking for a heavier story with themes of mental health or for readers who have loved victims of mental illness and want to be seen. Book more than conquerors Thank you again to Ryan and Zenith Publishing My favorite quote I ve never understood the concept of saying sorry for crying Harper said That s like saying sorry for being human Ryan Jones 35 stars soon back with a review Ryan Jones I can t remember the last time I read a book that made me cry as much as More Than Us by Ryan Jones did This book deals with themes of suicide mental health and self harm so please be aware if you decide to add this title to your TBR list. Book more than conquerors More Than Us follows the story of Lora a 20 year old U of T student in the early 2000s who saves Harper s life after a suicide attempt I promise this isn t a spoiler it s literally what happens in the first chapter From there we see the two of them form a relationship and navigate their very personal struggles with mental health. More Than usjf I really enjoyed the different settings that were used throughout the story I lived in Toronto while doing my post grad and felt the familiar pull of coffee shops and late nights on campus It was really easy for me to look back and relate to that aspect of the character s lives and made the story realistic for me Being in school and away from home was extremely difficult for me and I also saw a lot of my own mental health struggles portrayed in the book as well. More than useful Feelings of loneliness and worthlessness skipping out on therapy appointments and anxiety that seems to skyrocket for no apparent reason are all too familiar for me Seeing Lora and Harper discuss their feelings and how it affected their everyday life was in many ways very realistic However I understand that everyone s mental health is very unique so what seems familiar to me may not be for someone else. More than ashes chords I will say though that not everything in this book is wholly realistic The way that Harper is so casually discharged from the hospital made me gasp I understand that this book is fictional and hope that readers recognize some of the gaps and do not assume that the story is all encompassing of a patient s experience. Does 5g use more data than 4g I m glad that a YA contemporary novel is exploring these themes and hope that it helps spread awareness and break down the stigmas that are attached to mental health Throughout the book we see Lora stand up again and again for her friends and family who are battling depression and reminding people that it s a common illness Depression doesn t define a person and should be treated no differently from a physical ailment. Does 5g use more data than 4g Overall I did enjoy this book It s not a happy story in fact it s one of the saddest stories I ve read in a while However it was a fast read kept me entertained and championed the importance of therapy in a way I ve yet to see in any other YA contemporary books if anyone has recommendations please let me know, More than ashes lyrics Thank you to the publisher Zenith Publishing for an electronic copy of this book via Booksprout More Than Us by Ryan Jones comes out on August 4 2020 Ryan Jones
