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.

This book really touches on the topic of mental illness (even though the author hates describing it that way) and how it is for the people that experience it, and how it might affect their relationships with others.
Right from the author’s note at thr beginning, I knew I would like this book.
I’m also a fan of text messages in books, and this had a lot of it🤌🏼
So yes, you should def read this book. Be careful of the content warnings tho.
