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!
