So emotional and deep. I am glad they found each other, but that ending ruined me. Need more of lanston's backstory and also more on maybe liam's family and how they came to hate him even from before that happened

TRIGGER AND SPOILER WARNING REVIEW. 

As someone who has been institutionalized for a suicide attempt, I found the characters and their humor to be 100% relatable. There’s just that sick part of our brain that copes with humor in a way that a lot of people wouldn’t understand. There are dark parts to all of us, and they can be portrayed so very differently. I also really appreciated that this book  talks about  suicide attempts and self harm for people who DO want to live, DO want to feel alive but have ulterior motives or can’t help themselves. The characters are good. The spice is good. The story is good. If you can relate to any of this review, give the book a go and always remember to check in with yourself and someone you love while you read.

I am so fucking sad. I don’t think I’ve cried so hard over a book since The Fault In Our Stars. This story was so beautifully sad, heartbreaking, and heartwarming in the best ways. It was (sadly) relatable to me as well, which is why I think I feel so deeply for these characters because I see myself in them. I would reread this book over and over just to spend more time Liam, Wynn, and Lanston. I will never not think about this book.
