My Stupid, Sad, Pathetic Life
Author: Victor Gasiorek
Publisher: Writers Republic LLC
ISBN: 1637283342
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
This novel is loosely based on my real life but not 100% entirely. This is a book that I am hoping will make readers more confident about themselves and their own lives. The novel focuses on mental illness, drug addiction, suicide, and love. There is a lot of explicit language used throughout most of the novel as well as focusing on the topic of mental illness, loss of loved ones and the genuine struggle of living life as a human on planet Earth. This novel represents various struggles that I and other people deal with throughout day to day life. I’m hoping this book will be able to help those who struggle with mental illness, drug addiction, and loss of loved ones via suicide as well as religious confusion. It’s a dark read, but it has a fairly light, and happy ending.
