The book had some really good metaphors for getting through tough times in life. 

But for a YA book had too much smut.

I really enjoyed this book! The journey of self-discovery and healing that the main character goes through was inspiring, and I became really attached to the story. The combination of the strong character development and the plot events and how they intertwined was perfect, and I was truly invested in what was happening. I loved the feeling of found family and the emphasis of how important close friends are, as well as the value of all our relationships we have. All of the characters were well-rounded with their own personalities and stories, and all went through their own healing and growth. A truly powerful story :) and I was really happy with how it ended, after a very intense climax!
