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.

gracelyn's review against another edition

I have decided to dnf. I just don't care for any of the characters. It's not bad, this just isn't resonating with me as it maybe would have had I been 19 (when I bought it...)
