A Heartfelt Journey Through Anxiety and Resilience

🌟✨ I am so grateful to have discovered **Finding Calm** by J. Allen! This book truly touched my heart in ways I never expected. As someone who typically dives into smut, dark romance, and contemporary stories, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and sincerity of this young adult novel.

💖 The story revolves around a girl battling severe anxiety and the harsh realities of bullying—a narrative that resonates with so many of us, both young and old. It’s a powerful reminder that mental health is an ongoing journey, and it’s absolutely okay to not have everything figured out.

🙌 One of the standout elements for me was the incredible bond between the protagonist and her dad. Their relationship is a beautiful portrayal of love and support, showcasing the importance of having someone who listens and truly cares. It’s a reminder that we all need our own safe spaces to express our feelings, especially during tough times.

📚 The twists in this story are absolutely mind-blowing! Just when I thought I had it all figured out, J. Allen threw in a surprise that left me speechless. I cannot wait for the sequel!

📖 I wholeheartedly recommend **Finding Calm** to teens and anyone who might be struggling with their mental health. This book is a beacon of hope and reassurance that you are not alone in your journey. Remember, it’s okay to seek help and to embrace your feelings.

🌈 it's okay to not be okay! 💪✨
