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 :(

Another good one written by Nic Stone. In this book she tackles mental illness and alcoholism and how it affects a relationship between two recent high school graduates.  Open your heart and mind to people struggling with illnesses and diseases you may not understand.

I love books that are entertaining and equally educational. 

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.

Excellent dual POV representation of mental illness (like the author, I hate that term too), as 2 teens also deal with all the normal pressures of school, family, and romance. Their individual stories are actually more complicated than average, including a parent running for political office, death of a sibling, changing schools 3 times in as many years plus a cross-country move, and having a parent famous for writing steamy urban romance novels. One of them already knows how to protect herself and isn't ready to let anyone else in and the other needs someone to show him he's worthy of being loved before he goes too far in hurting himself or someone else. Great characters in their support systems too, although one had too many issues of her own to be helpful.

I was so glad to hear the author's note included in the audiobook. Heads up, for those who usually skip this, the story continues after this, so don't think it ended abruptly (can't say if the format is the same in the print version).

Lots of trigger warnings for this book, so read with caution, as the author mentions in her intro note.
