Author Jeff Howard has heightened the importance of mental awareness among teens by ways of this incredible book Screw You Van Gogh. I loved discussing his approach and intentions for this book as well as the female friendships among teens. This is definitely an episode to check out if you're a YA indie author, or just an indie author!
About the book:
The powerful story of two unlikely friends brought together by change and an unworldly connection neither one can explain. Together they navigate teenage relationships, dysfunctional families, self discovery, the terrifying impact of teenage mental health, and, ultimately, the choice to live. Cassidy Towers, a cynical girl made smart by a tough life, finds herself in a new school with no friends, no hope, and an attitude to match. That is until Tommi Bounds, a tall fast-talking red head with no filter decides otherwise and sets out to reinvent Cassidy. Enter a cast of characters: Tommi’s cute cousin Patrick, obsessive compulsive Jules, hippie throwback Tina, a country music quoting mom, and a quirky but well-meaning school counselor. Screw You Van Gogh takes you through an intense, authentic look into the emotional lives of today’s teenagers.
