Alright, so "On the Verge" is like diving into someone's emotional rollercoaster as they chronicle all their battle with self-doubt and that constant "I'm not good enough" feeling. It's basically a journal-style exploration of the author’s emotional journey through the labyrinth of mental health struggles. With raw honesty, the author takes readers on a deeply personal expedition into their own mind, sharing the turbulence of emotions, the sense of being lost, and the overwhelming feeling of not measuring up.
The author holds nothing back - they're all about showing the real deal, creating an immediate and profound connection with readers who have battled similar feelings of inadequacy. And the whole journal setup? It's like you're right there, flipping through their thoughts as they happen. No filters, just real-talk.
But here's the deal - "On the Verge" is a reminder that finding yourself isn't a smooth highway; it's a messy off-road adventure. There's no quick fix here. It's about facing your doubts head-on and somehow finding the courage to deal with them.
In a world that's finally getting that mental health is a real thing, "On the Verge" steps up as a reminder that opening up about your struggles is a game-changer. Whether you've fought your own self-doubt battles or you're just curious about what goes on in other people's heads, this book gives you a real, no-holds-barred look at the journey to finding your footing and being fulfilled with who you are.
Seriously, if you've been in the same boat, you'll be nodding along like "Yep, been there, felt that." And yes, it helps to know that you’re not alone.
Thank you G. Severino, for sharing your story. ♥️

On The Verge is a human experience. It deals with rock bottom and the flourishing top and all of the stuff in between. As raw and real as it can be, you'll find mental health representation that makes you want to hug the pages and say, "I'm so happy I'm not alone." 😩
No matter where you are in life, and regardless of relating to these things all the time or only sometimes, I think everyone can find comfort in these powerful words and heartfelt emotions.
💫 "And if it’s human experience to feel hurt, maybe it’s also human to open myself to happiness. Maybe, just maybe, there’s hope after all."

This book was beautiful 🥹♥️
I had the amazing chance to read this book, right before it’s release day. I can’t describe the emotions I felt when reading it. It was eye opening. I’ve spoken to G about this book and I can tell how special it is to her.
You can truly see that with how she writes it. I think it’s messages are raw. They have a unique way with connecting to you. I could relate to many ideas mentioned.
Some even had me close to tears. Especially the last chapter had my loving every bit of it. Altogether this book is one I believe will be loved, by those who are meant to read it.
I love it as I’m grateful I read it.
You’re amazing G! I can’t wait to see your book out in the world, I’m happy to be apart of knowing it and you :)

It is a perfect example of being lost in your 20s and the mental battles and hardships one goes through. It's a novella that will leave you understanding that you are not alone in the troubles, leaving you with a different outlook on life.
I loved this book and would 100% recommend it to everyone.

Am I allowed to review my own story?
This is a nonfiction, journaling-style, novella in which each chapter is a different emotion and season of life that I've gone (or going) through. Everyone deals with their thoughts and inner turmoils in their own way, this one just works for me.
Be forewarned that some chapters might be hard to read. As one of my beta readers said, "It’s deeply emotional and raw."
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it!
