This Is Home: The Art of Simple Living

Product Information

Home Home is the story of a depressed Trinidadian teenager, Kayla, who is sent to live with her Aunt in Canada. Whilst there, Kayla must come to terms with her mental health, her new family and indeed her new home. I received it for review from the publisher and was grateful for the offer: I want to find these sorts of books and see them participating within the world, and Home Home more than holds its own. It's worthy of attention on a thousand different levels. This Is Homeis about simple living – how to focus on our values to create authentic homes full of meaning and joy. I’m writing this review on World Mental Health Day 2018 which - appropriately - has the theme of ‘young people and mental health in a changing world’. Kayla is every adolescent who suffers from mental distress and illness. “I was really, really unhappy, like I had this big hole in my belly between my heart and my stomach and I couldn’t fill it with food or with love or books or anything and I just felt sad, all the time, all the time, all the time.”

There's a point towards the end of the first chapter of Home Home where I got The Feeling. You'll know what The Feeling is; it's that moment when you read something, maybe a word or a sentence or a metaphor, whatever, but you know that it's good. Your spine tingles. Something settles inside your head. The conscious recognition of skill, there, bubbling beneath the surface. The realisation that you're in good hands. How to work out a budget for your time and money using your values as a guide. Where you can spend and save when it comes to creating lasting interiors.I did not love the way in which a potential romantic partner served as a partial "cure" for Kayla's depression. It's possible to be in a fantastic relationship and still experience mental health issues and vice versa. I'm not sure this messaging is exactly on target for any reader, but especially for more impressionable teens. Yes, this development can be lumped in with everyone's goal of getting Kayla to experience the world more (shop, attend her aunts' BBQs, and work out), but this subplot didn't work for me. On a related note, I found the early scene with the cop so disturbing and was bothered by the way in which the adults seem to laugh it off ('oh, just flirty until they know your age' business). There's a rightfully sinister series of thoughts that lead into that scene, an interaction that is extremely uncomfortable, and then we just move on. What? Finally, I wanted to see Kayla's ideas surrounding the LGBTQ+ community evolve a bit faster than they did. The book is kinda tough to read in terms of mental health. The narrator attempt suicide, has several nervous breakdowns, and has an overall negative life view. It’s pretty hard to enter into the sadness and sit with it in the way that the author asks the audience to do in the novel. It is also heartbreaking to read about a girl so young struggling with so much. Told over a period of two months, HOME HOME is a story that stands alone and also would be a great start of a series as Kayla’s journey toward improved mental health and recovery is a journey that will take years if not a lifetime. Living for now: Work out a budget for your time and money using your values as a guide. Where you can spend and save when it comes to creating lasting interiors.

I actually appreciated the text- though it was often redundant. I liked the emphasis on buying things that last, being creative with what you have, and living sustainably. The Q & A with the people/families featured were super similar to each other.
