This summer I will kill myself

About this book

This Summer I Will Kill Myself follows Sarah, a twenty-four-year-old woman who appears to have everything she is supposed to want, yet feels deeply disconnected from her life. When a quiet but decisive thought takes hold one morning, she makes a pact with herself that sets the story in motion.

The novel explores the exhaustion of constantly striving to be exceptional, the lingering effects of inconsistent love, and the search for meaning in places that ultimately fail to provide it. Through Sarah's journey, the book examines themes of identity, emotional isolation, grief, burnout, and self-discovery.

At its heart, this is not a story about falling apart. It is a deeply introspective and emotionally resonant story about resilience, healing, and what it takes to keep going when life feels overwhelming.
