Definitions of Indefinable Things

 

Definitions of Indefinable Things  by Whitney Taylor YA

(from Amazon)  Reggie isn’t really a romantic: she’s been hurt too often, and doesn’t let people in as a rule. Plus, when you’re dealing with the Three Stages of Depression, it’s hard to feel warm and fuzzy. When Reggie meets Snake, though, he doesn’t give her much of a choice. Snake has a neck tattoo, a Twizzler habit, and a fair share of arrogance, but he’s funny, charming, and interested in Reggie.  Snake also has an ex-girlfriend who's seven months pregnant. Good thing Reggie isn’t a romantic.  Definitions of Indefinable Things follows three teens as they struggle to comprehend love, friendship, and depression—and realize one definition doesn’t always cover it.

(My Review)

So, I realize this book might not be for everyone.  I thought the author did a good job describing the experience one feels during depression - and how it can be complex, and different for each individual who experiences it.  This book follows three individuals, who, for different reasons, have found themselves struggling, and isolated, and their relationships with each other help them learn more about themselves and how to cope with the events in their lives.  Now, don't get me wrong.  This is not a deep book.  It is a YA, rom-comish book.  I enjoyed it.
