The plot:
Anyone who has been through, knows that there's nothing beautiful, literary or mysterious about being depressed.
Aysel has a worm that wears out her chest. Her father's action have forever marked her life. The girl, indeed, wants to end her own life but she lacks of courage. Through the site "Depart Serene" she finds a mate for the insane gesture, Roman, a popular student who seems to lack nothing. In reality Roman has his own secrets and it's the latter who drag him down the grave. But life holds surprises and in some ways proves to be pleasant and worth living. Will fate play in favor of the death drive or love and hope?
The novel deals with delicate topic with tact and delicacy. Full of twist and turns, the storytelling is never boring and can keep the reader hooked on the pages and ink. The only flaw, in my humble opinion, is the surrender of the protagonist's death wish. It's indeed difficult to identify with the motivation that leads Aysel to grawn her heart. A descriptive study of the consequences of her paternal gesture is missing.
