Quite a heavy book. Just from reading the blurb, you would see it deals quite indepth with mental health struggles.

Olive was a complicated character, and was sometimes quite hard to like and understand why she was behaving the way she was.

My heart broke for Lewis.

That was amazing! I did not expect to enjoy it that much and I don’t think it would be that deep! I got attached to all the characters and I think the whole idea and the setting and stuff were so interesting and I also loved the authors writing style so would love to read some more from her. Over all it was an amazing book!

As anticipated Holly Bourne does not disappoint,
there's something about her writing and books that just
takes me back to my teen years, I don't think there's a
book of hers I haven't cried over.

As someone who has experienced and still experiences
some of the themes and thoughts in this book it really
resonated with me. Even though I'm 29 and not the
targeted audience of older teens, it still made me feel
less alone and was a breath of fresh air to read such a
realistic take on mental illness and I finished it in a day!

I didn’t really like Olive because she was so busy saving other people instead of herself. I do think the message and the mental health awareness in this book are very good! But Olive was just annoying.

specifically when she kinda took advantage of Lewis

overall i liked the idea and the message of this book so 3/5 stars
