Alice sees the worst in people.
She also sees the best.
She sees a thousand different emotions and knows exactly what everyone around her is feeling.
Every. Single. Day.
But it's the dark thoughts.
The sadness.
The rage.
These are the things she can't get out of her head. The things that overwhelm her.
Where will the journey to find herself begin?***

I really loved In A Thousand Different Ways. I knew from the blurb I'd enjoy the book but didn't anticipate just how much I would connect with this. From the blurb I thought Alice was an empath, but she has a strange form of Synesthesia, a condition in which people commonly see emotions as colours. Alice can see the colours of everything including people and nature such as animals, plants, and trees. The book is narrated but Alice in the first person and you get to really know her. She has some tough moments in her life due to her strange gift which she sees as a curse for a long time and a difficult home life. You are with her every step of the way as she blossoms, learns to connect with people and have a fulfilling life. I cried a lot reading this. This is a remarkable book.
