I cried and laughed and was frustrated with this book.
For me the characters were relatable; like the battles with self worth, grief, love and pride. Also questions of doing the right thing... is the right thing right if everyone suffers? Follow your heart but.. to what direction? Is revenge ok, or do you judge things with just half of the truth in your hands?
Somehow this book showed perfectly what it is to be human. . . That not everything is perfect, and that's ok. I loved how the author described all the emotions the characters went through.
Sometimes I just wanted to go into the story, comfort them and say everything was gonna be alright.
Aand also go join the ("spicy") bookclub aaand those audio book listening "events" where the whole street listened all those spicy monster **ck storys together. x33♡

Graphic: Bullying, Emotional abuse, Mental illness, Grief, and Abandonment
Moderate: Child abuse, Child death, Toxic relationship, Grief, Medical trauma, and Abandonment
One of the main characters have some problems with depression and it is described in my mind perfectly. The tiredness. Aand lack of being able to even take a shower. How even reading the messages is too much not to mention that you should answer them. The avoidance of everything as well as everyone and also that need to just escape to the other worlds for a while. I think this book is one of those books that people should read if not otherwise then just to understand how other people, people with depression (or other mental illnesses / lack of self confidence), really feel or see things from their perspective.
