this almost made me break my “no dnf’ing” rule. i spent most of the time listening to this book just so frustrated!! i only read this because weeks ago i was #emo but the hold on libby was long so i could only start it now and maybe i wasn’t in the right state of mind to read this (meaning i was too normal and happy) but i feel like this should be a good read ESPECIALLY to those in better mindsets to show what it’s like!!

i feel bad for disliking this book so much and it was almost a 1 star review (ESPECIALLY DURING THST FUCKING CONCERT SCENE AT THE VERY END I HATE PUTTING THE SPOILER WARNING ON MY REVIEWS SO I WON’T SAY MORE BUT!! GOD!!!!!) but then the author had her sweet little note at the end and mentioned how she’s struggled with sh and then i felt bad 😭 just goes to show everyone’s relationship with it is different! hope she found her peace writing this 🫡

I really enjoyed this book but man I should’ve read the content warnings before reading as this book was a bit of a trigger for me. A beautiful yet heartbreaking story

This was really different from what I usually read, so I'm having a hard time rating this book. It was very fast paced so I read it quickly, but the topics were anything but lighthearted. The first half of the book I didn't really connect with a lot, but I got a more into it once our main character got out of the facility she was in. The ending didn't satisfy me all the way, but I was content with it. Definitely check trigger warnings before reading this one.

There is no story line to this book. The way it is written is not fluid and choppy. Additionally, the entire thing has been about self harm.
