Hi Marina
          
          Thank you so much for the follow and adding Saudade to your reading list.
          I read your bio and was so touched.
          
          
          We need to talk more about people who go through emotional trauma and depression, especially through our stories, so that we understand and empathise with them. And learn ways to help them come out of it.
          
          I am really glad that you chose to read Saudade because the female lead in the story suffers from depression and anxiety attacks and gradually comes out if it..
          I have someone in my extended family who went through that,  and I based my layman observations  in developing that character.
          
          I would really love to hear your thoughts on it whenever you choose to read the story.
           Please leave your comments in the chapters.
          Really glad to connect with you .
          
          Cheers
          Sesi

@ its_Sesi  I feel people like me are not represent on books, movies and TV. I'm glad your book talks about mental health issues. I loved the title. I'm Brazilian so Saudade is a word I use a lot ♥️

Thank you so much for the follow!  Writing about mental health and societal issues is so, so very important.

Oh yeah it’s pretty much all suffering, for both parties.   Whoops.

@lastredhotswami ❤️ I can see you're tackling very important social issues. Just please don't make Julian suffer too much. I just started it and I'm already brokenhearted for him
