This book is so utterly complex it was almost hard to rate. Its girtty and rosy at the same time. It both perfectly explains self harm and its negative effects and glamorizes a toxic relationship. I didn't want to love it but I did. I cried through the last third of the book and am
both satisfied and unsatisfied with the ending. I appreciate that the book doesn't have a happy ever after as its not a happy book but for Charlie I wanted someone to give her one. Gut wrenching and reflective.

Moderate: Sexual content

Minor: Eating disorder and Fatphobia

Very focused on self harm and drug use, do not read if struggling with these. It could be very triggering.
