This is a good book. There is truth in this book. Some characters frustrated me beyond belief but that helped drive the main conclusions home. It did get slightly unbelievable, but if you can maintain that careful dance between reality and fantasy (which I can, if I read a book in one sitting like this), it works.

I feel like everyone loved this book and it just wasn't really my thing. I feel like it fell into magical realism a bit (which is fine!) but it just wasn't my favourite.

i loved this book so much, it was exactly what i needed to read. this book (imo) is one of the best YA books that talks about mental illness in a real way. this is a magical book all about facing your fears no matter how big or small, and learning that fear doesn’t define you. i just love the way sutherland incorporated death and love into this book. i think this book is really empowering especially for those like me who struggle with fears and or mental illness. this book is truly amazing and definitely deserves 5 stars. 

“…everybody dies, whether they live their life in fear or not. and that—death—is not something to be afraid of”
