Holly Smith's "idiot" is a story rooted in real events that have evolved into a gripping novel. The book covers several major social issues such as teenage pregnancy, attempted suicide, large-scale school shooting, drug abuse and domestic violence. Unfortunately, as recent events have shown, these events are still more realistic and urgent, but in addition to this, there is a life of a girl and a constant struggle for her difficulties with her life.
As we flipped through Eva Langston's diary, we were invited by Holly Smith for a very intimate journey. When we first met her, she was a troubled teenager who tried to find a place for herself in a foster home. Due to the lack of coveted stability, she found that she often did not adapt and was about to make some life-threatening decisions. Her gift was obscured by the childhood of abusive father, and only in the face of a loving mother and mysterious friend Kami, Kami's identity will be learned at the end. However, by remembering these memories in her diary, with the encouragement of her therapist, she began to pass them and slowly increased. It is actually a journey of self-discovery, and the reader becomes her silent companion without her knowledge.
The logo of this book is the general atmosphere and storyline. The second half is undeniably a more optimistic tone. The scenery of Eva's life has finally shifted from foster care to a loving family. They actively participate in all aspects of life and provide support for each step. This section explores how she is accepted by a group of people with the help of a solid support system and how she faces new challenges. Eva also participated in a romantic relationship, which helped her to leave something unforgettable for herself. So the theme here is love at so many different levels.
Although "idiots" solve many abuses and pains, it is not about these, but about how to transcend. Help can take different forms, from professional intervention to support from friends and family. It is important to open up and allow others to enter. Others are a key part of the treatment process, but in the end, this is still a journey that is done on its own.
