Because I’m Disposable is a YA contemporary by Rosie Somers, out now!

Blurb:

Sixteen-year-old Callista Tanner was in the bathroom slitting her wrists the night her father took a fatal plunge down the stairs. People around her think she attempted suicide because she found him dead -- or worse, because she had a guilty conscience. Few know the truth; Michael Tanner had been beating her for years.

The freedom that should have come with her father's death becomes a cage of rumors and self-doubt. Callie seeks escape in the most destructive ways, bringing her emotional scars to the surface for the world to see.

One bright spot exists in Callie's dark world.

Lincoln Devaux refuses to let Callie sink fully into the depths of her own depression, stepping into her life when she needs someone the most. She tries to push him away, but Link is determined to save Callie from herself. Even when she doesn't think she's worth saving.

Because I'm Disposable by Rosie Somers

This is one of those very short reads that you'll finish reading in no time. I certainly did.

Callie is an interesting character to say in the least. She's gone through a hellish life with her abusive father and now she's free. This book explores her wavering tidal waves of emotions and her changing lifestyle. From new friends to a side of her that she's quite unfamiliar with, Callie just tries to get through it. What happens when Callie isn't herself anymore?

Lincoln is the good looking next-door neighbor boy who's always seemed to brush off Callie's existence. It's no wonder--considering how she does the same. For whatever reason, he seems to have taken an interest in her...

It's no problem to say that Callie has a bit of family issues. When she's starting to change, her little sister isn't very enthusiastic about her choice of company. Callie's mother isn't even home most of the time. With her emotions starting to show, maybe she'll start to find out what really happened the night of her attempted suicide.

Throughout the book, Rosie Somers displays the reality of high school and how change isn't always for the better. The book brings out the emotional turmoil of Callie and the reasoning that you can change your life whenever you want to.

Overall, I'd give this a 3/5. Because I'm Disposable is a good read that I'll probably reread sometime. The characters, while generally pleasing, needed a bit more development. I think that might just be because it wasn't essentially long enough to give as much character development as I would have liked. I am, however, curious to see what else Rosie Somers has in store for the literary world.

COVER REVEAL: Because I'm Disposable by Rosie Somers

Because I’m Disposable is a YA contemporary by Rosie Somers, releasing July 9th. It's her debut novel and I'm very glad to have the chance at showing this off to the world! In a couple of weeks following this cover reveal, Fictional is Better will be participating in Because I'm Disposable's Release Day Blast!! After that(or before that), I'll post my review!

I really like the cover because it just fits the gloomy theme of the book. It's beautiful in the tragic way it portrays how she feels about life.
