Whispered Shout
Julia McBryant
After a traumatic Christmas break, during which Henry nearly loses his best friend and Jax has to deal with his estranged twin sister, both return to college an emotional wreck. But rather than explode, Jax slides into a deep depression he can’t claw his way out of. Henry can only stand helpless as he watches his boyfriend slip further and further away.
An angst-filled, hurt/comfort romance, this novella examines what it means to have a mental illness — and what it means to watch a loved one struggle. Whispered Shout shows the destructive nature of depression, and how love, however meaningful, can’t pull someone from their own darkness.
