Coral Book: A Guide to Collecting and Identifying the Corals of the World

Product Information

Coral was another favorite. Her sweet relationship with her oldest sister and her desire to help her really tugged at my heart. I was also intrigued by the idea that Coral could see life in more vivid colors from the others. Estranged and misunderstood by the rest of her family, Coral sets out to find the Prince she blames for her older sister's demise.

The book had me crying, laughing, gasping, and even slightly hyperventilating at some parts. It had plenty of twists and turns, and really made you think to figure *it* out. for me, the most emotional part was when Maya took her life. That made me sad beyond words. Tread cautiously if you are at all worried that something may be harmful to your mental health and wellness. My heart broke for her though. The poor girl went through so much, and her story was a tragic reminder of how deeply the wrong choices of other people can affect us. I admire that even though she experienced so much trauma, she grew stronger because of it, and she was willing to do the hard work of fighting the dark lies inside her head. I especially loved that she used writing to heal from her trauma. Writing is a wonderful remedy, and I love that the author brought this out.

CHAPTER XXXI.

Coral fulfilled every single expectation and I loved every minute of it. I 100% recommend it to everyone. This is easily one of the best books I have read in a long time.

I am fortunate enough to say that I've never seriously struggled with my mental health, but Coral touched me in the deepest parts of my heart. I loved every part of it. Again, I'm at loss for words for how much I adored it. 😭🤍I recommend this book to 13/14+ (depends on your sensitivity level), but please be aware that this tale revolves around the blunt themes of suicide, high anxiety, and depression. Stay safe and remember that you are not nothing. 💞💞💞

So, originally I thought this was a little mermaid retelling. It's not. It's a reimagining. For those of you who are die hard fairytale nerds like me, just know that going in. I kept trying to figure out how the pieces all fit until I finally realized it was inspired by, not a retelling of. That said, I didn't enjoy it any less for the reimagining. In fact, I'm really glad Sara Ella approached the book the way she did in regards to the original tale. She made it all her own. It's not a fast-paced book, and for some I think it could be very difficult to read, but the raw emotions, and the messy, real life in it are so well written. It's not a fun book. It's even a hard book, sometimes. But it's so good, in a deep, soul-touching way. In November 2016, Gala Coral was acquired by Ladbrokes, which changed its name to Ladbrokes Coral.

[21] Marketing and advertising [ edit ] Thank you so much to the publisher, Thomas Nelson, for providing me with a copy of this to read and review.a b Francisco Guerrera (23 September 1998). "DTI bars Ladbroke from buying Coral". The Independent. London . Retrieved 26 December 2017. This quite rightly carries a trigger warning as it's a very heavy subject but told in a deft intriguing way. Its surprising, profound and imaginative. Told initially from the point of view of Coral we gradually learn about Brook, Hope and those around them. There was a moment I became confused and then as I read on I realised that the characters imagination and sheer overwhelming need for peace and escape had her sinking down into a pit that she needed help escaping.

Having intimately experienced several situations very similar to those in this book, Sara Ella nails the spiraling mindset of suicide, and this book could potentially provide some perspective and compassion for someone who “just doesn’t understand” (as I’ve heard people say). Triggers: Suicidal Depression, Anxiety, Synesthesia (idk if that's a trigger or not tbch), Survivor's Guilt, Cutting, Suicide, unwanted advances (Note: although these are all thoroughly explored, the author conveyed them in such a way that it isn't disgraced nor encouraged. It is skillfully taken on, and I believe it is a good read for people that are in a safe spot in their own mental health journeys to see them from other's povs) With that said, while some of what I have written comes from research and some from the caring eyes of sensitivity readers who have lived through many of these experiences, other pieces come from my own personal experience with emotional trauma. If you have lost a loved one, I’m with you. If you face depression or anxiety, my heart aches with you in a truly personal way. If you have ever felt misunderstood for these things or simply wanted to escape altogether—I understand.I loved the theme that love gives us a reason to live. The author used the example of other people's love as the lifeline during hard times, but that could easily apply to the love of Christ too. Our lives are valuable because Christ died for us, and He loves us so much. Suicide is never the solution, even if it seems to be the last resort. In the end, it only causes more pain to the people around you and ultimately, you. Brooke: The most mysterious of the three perspectives, Brooke resides in a treatment center struggling with depression and anxiety. Difficulties in identifying corals underwater have been hampering coral enthusiasts and researchers alike for decades. I feel that the Coral Finder is a huge leap ahead. It is exceptionally well designed and easy to master. It is also timely, as the need for accurate survey has never been so pressing. I strongly endorse it for use anywhere in the Indo-Pacific." Joe Coral (born Joseph Kagarlitski, 11 December 1904 – 16 December 1996 [2] [3]) began his bookmaking business in 1926 and, although primarily concerned with operating betting pitches at racecourses, together with his friend Tom Bradbury-Pratt, he ran speedway meetings at Harringay and opened a credit office in the West End of London in 1943. The book isn't for everyone. (If you're thinking of reading it, I'd encourage you to research the content warnings, as there are many.)
