REVIEW BLURB:
“The Me That I Became takes you on the journey through depression and how it affects the characters physically, emotionally, and mentally. I was so engrossed in this story that I couldn't stop reading it until the end (staying up until 2am to finish it when I had to be up at 6am).”
SUMMARY:
We were destined to never end up together. You an empath, and me the woman who can’t feel anything. It never should have worked.Then our hands brushed together. It was serendipity—a happy accident that made me experience the world like I never had before. You said all the right words, and for a time I remembered what it felt like to be alive.But my shadows have returned, threatening to extinguish the light you brought into my life, and I’m terrified that our future together is slipping away. I need you now, Brandon. I need you to chase away the demons, to make me whole, and to teach me once again what it means to love. Now only one question remains. . .Will you?

5.) “The beautiful thing about Christopher Harlan's writing is that the reader is able to put themselves in the character's head space and so you not only experience the ups and downs but also the OMG moments that make the characters that more real and genuine” —Tina
6.) “While there are still a couple of Christopher Harlan books I've yet to read, this book, is currently my absolute favorite Christopher Harlan book... Christopher writes a truly potent, amazing book that delves into the mind of the depressed as well as to the minds of those who surround that person and all the pain that it encompasses. It is all at once raw and gritty and beautiful and sexy”—Sue
7.) “One of the best books I have read this year. Loved Lia and Brandon. They were meant to cross paths so that they could help each other heal and be better versions of themselves. Lots of emotions in this book. Highly recommended. Thanks Christopher for such a wonderful story.” —Debbie
8.) “And he does it again, y’all. Christopher Harlan is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. . .As a person of color (a group that has traditionally stigmatized or denied mental health issues), I appreciated the depiction of Talia’s relationship with her parents from HER point of view & hope that it gives some of us a new perspective on the right & wrong way to handle these situations.
