Stop Pretending, a collection of poems written by Sonya Sones and inspired by her own life, tells the moving story of a young girl named Cookie, her family, and the aftermath of her eldest sister's nervous breakdown. Bearing as much weight as a large novel, this quick, emotional read can capture any reader's compassion, leaving you with a very different perspective on mental illness and those affected by it.I found the format of Sones' book refreshing and the personal poems thought provoking. I recommend this book especially to anyone short on time and looking for a great read.
