I found this book incredibly emotionally impactful. It was an amazing book about two teenagers learning to create a bond with eachother while trying to overcome each of their own personal struggles and it really showed how mental illness can impact your relationships with others. 
Nic Stone created such an amazing story that made me laugh, made me want to cry and really just hit all the emotions. Due to the subject it does have a lot of quite dark moments that could definitely be triggering for some but as someone who has experienced many issues with mental illness I appreciate how Nic Stone didn't try to sugar coat it or act like one person can come along and fix everything, it felt so raw and real.

Good representation and touches on serious subjects. However, it felt a bit shallow. The story is quite short and some things could've been more fleshed out, which is a shame since it's about mental illness and addiction. It could've benefitted from some more tlc. Decent story but I didn't love it. Quite literally said "meh" as I closed the book after the last page.

Amazing book! It talks about mental health that a lot of people should take time to understand. I could have read it in one sitting if I had had the chance but I work a lot so I couldn't :(
