i loved the character development and the discussions of mental health in this story. certainly didn’t expect abuse to play such a big part.

5.0

If you're an awkward young adult who has a big heart, but struggles to connect with your peer group as well as with childhood trauma, then this is the book for you. It's the good, the bad, and the ugly of recovery and self-discovery. Minor spoiler: Eleanor has a well-deserved happy ending, one of which we all deserve. ♡

This book contains nearly every possible trigger Story Graph provides. Please read with caution!
