Description:Editorial Reviews"Set in one of the most beautiful areas of the world in Manly Beach, I WILL NOT KILL MYSELF, OLIVIA centres around Jimmy and Olivia's heartfelt, passionate and troubled love. It is a painfully honest, authentic and provocative novel ... one that presents a mesmerising portrayal of the all-consuming force of depression that dominates the main character ... one that takes the reader on a highly emotional journey ... and one that achieves a perfect balance of emotions, action and drama." The Columbia Review. "An explicitly realistic, absolutely intriguing and stunningly gritty novel that snatches the reader's attention right from the start. The vivid, life-like, deeply intimate perspective of central character Jimmy Wharton's descent into depression will help non-sufferers understand the illness, and help current sufferers realise that they are not alone as they commiserate with Jimmy - who is a truly sympathetic character." Pacific Book Review."A modern day Romeo and Juliet - a powerful, heartwrenching story that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride as Jimmy and Olivia try to hang on desperately to love in the face of Jimmy's mounting depression." Nick Bleszynski, bestselling author."While the protagonist's story can help people with depression to face their own problems and help non-sufferers understand the illness, I WILL NOT KILL MYSELF, OLIVIA will also appeal to a much broader audience - including teenagers, who can view typical young adult behaviour from a different perspective; and parents, who after reading this book, may choose to become more attentive to their teens." Portland Book Review."One of the most singularly powerful books about depression on the market." Midwest Book Review.Back cover blurb/Book descriptionLike most young adults, Jimmy Wharton is trying to carve out a happy, successful life for himself. It’s hard enough to do under any circumstances, but when he starts suffering from depression, becoming the person he wants to be feels overwhelmingly unachievable, as his illness seems destined to shatter his world. Olivia, Jimmy’s high school sweetheart and long-term girlfriend, initially tries to support him in every way she can. But as Jimmy spirals downwards, their relationship begins to break at the seams, and they are forced to face the devastating reality that as strong as they know their love is, the force of Jimmy’s depression could be even stronger. Set against the backdrop of Sydney’s iconic Manly Beach, I Will Not Kill Myself, Olivia is a tale about the intoxicating, heartbreaking, unforgettable experience of first love; about all the mistakes we make on the road to adulthood; and about an illness that afflicts 350 million people worldwide.
