A very emotional book that also feels like a very honest account of mental illness and poverty at a young age. The character of Riley is so well depicted, I would hazard a guess that all women that can relate to Charlie will have known a Riley at one point or another.
The ending was maybe a little disappointing but still uplifting.

GOD i love this book so much omg... I swear, its my own coping mechanism. ive struggled through the same events in this novel and it just itches a scratch in my brain i didnt know i had. every time i read it, i fall more in love. UGH ITS SO RELATABLE ABDNDJKS. I have a few quotes saved but my favorite is "I guess you can't really get rid of what you used to be. It kinda sticks to you."- Leonard, page 164
