i loved this book, did not expect it to be as emotional and raw as it is but it’s my favourite book right now! i loved how real the characters felt even though some of them felt 2d, i liked making up their lives in my head. It would’ve been a 5 but i felt like some very important stuff was glossed over, would’ve liked some consequences!

God this book was too relatable. I feel so much for Charlie. I want to sympathize with her but sometimes it’s too much. I want to sympathize with Riley but he’s in the wrong. I’m glad she got the ending she deserved.

Look into the triggers of this book, it goes into detail about self harm and has caused many people to relapse.

For people who have someone close to them who is in a dark place. It’s for them to read and get to understand more about mental illness. 
I do not recommend this to mentally ill people. Too brutal and triggering.
