I struggle with liking books with unreliable narrators- especially when I don't know they are going in. This one was pretty good though.

This book was not what I expected it to be but it turned out to be a relatively quick but great read! Feels like it approached topics of bullying, school troubles, loss and grief and mental illness in a very interesting way, with an emphasis on placing human struggles and decisions at the heart of the story. With an ending that brought about a wide range of emotions and still kept me thinking a long while after finishing the story.
