Yeah, I don’t know. I appreciated most of the commentary on mental health and suicide, but this book had so many random elements I don’t get. Harry Kang was the best character lol. 

Spoiler  Why was there so much random vegan slander?? How did the MC end up sleeping with the same boy as her dead best friend and crying through the entire thing? That romance was weird, forced, and had no chemistry. Call me crazy, but I just don’t think a guy who truly is in love with you would get screwing you while you were CRYING. It would’ve been so much better if they were friends, had a slower burning romance, or just didn’t have the weird sex scene.
Spoiler

Still enjoyed the book, though.
