The Book Bound Society review — Tyler Johnson Was Here, by Jay Coles

People will try to convince you that you don’t deserve to live. That you don't deserve to exist. They’ll ignore your voice. Lock you up. They’ll even kill you to take you out of this world. And through it all, you have to fight. Fight to remind yourself that you do matter. That you do…
