 I'm here crying ugly crying and wondering to say about this book. Quite obviously loved it. I saw myself in Adelaide and was so heartbreaking to realize but cathartic to watch come to a conclusion. Cliche as it sounds things really will be alright and we just need to the light and the dark as they to us. This book is a book for our times and I think can find a bit of themselves in Adelaide as well.

Definitely shed a few tears over this one, a hard--emotional read, but a good story about a girl who falls into toxic relationships and struggles with her mental health.

I felt uncomfortably bad in a cringe way most of the book for Adelaide. Her mental health issues made it impossible for her to be in a healthy safe relationship. Her BF, Rory, total A$$. However, I did enjoy the unbreakable bond of true friends in this book. Her road to help and recovery could have been expanded on more. At the end of the day, I didn't love or hate this book.
