Significant glorification of mental illness, high school stereotypes, and suicide. Romanticized it wayyyyy too much, which I found abhorrent and unpleasant. I forced myself to finish it but wouldn't recommend to others.

I admit I struggled  connecting with either Finch or Violet. I will not speak about the accuracy of the portrayal of bipolar disorder since I don't have that illness but I have not particularly liked or care for the characters. Not the way I should have. Maybe I'm simply outgrowing YA. Maybe Jennifer Niven's writing just isn't my vibe.

At first, I was of the opinion that the book was a bit too ‘young’ adult for me, having little depth and describing teenage drama, but then the book took a more serious turn and I became way more invested in what would happen to the characters.
