FIRST READ: MAY 2017 --- 5 STARS
I loved this book so much. As is probably evident by the fact that I started it yesterday and finished today, and scarcely put it down in between.
Oddly enough, I almost stopped reading it entirely after the second chapter because it was very graphic and bloody and it bothered me a lot, but I really liked the premise of it so I kept reading and HOLY CUCUMBERS I AM SO GLAD I DID. (But if you are going to read this book be advised that there is a scene involving graphic descriptions of self harm and attempted suicide, and mentions of scars and post-self harm throughout the book. Also mentions of an eating disorder.)
This book has so many important messages and themes and I think that I learned a lot from reading it. It changed my outlook on a lot of things. I think it's kind of strange how this book made me feel more positive about my life, but it did. It also made me want to become a DJ. I was already kind of interested but now I'm like YES PLEASE GET ME TURNTABLES STAT AND TEACH ME EVERYTHING.
I only knew Elise for a short time but I really knew her. Because I am her, in so many ways. Trying so hard to fit in and relate to "popular" kids that it does more harm than good. And I think that's why this story gave me hope: because things work out for someone like me, so they could work out for me as well.
"'I don't believe that anyone who is a legitimately interesting person can be popular as a teenager,' Mel went on. 'Or ever, maybe. Popularity rewards the uninteresting.'"
LIKE HELLO IS THIS ABOUT MY LIFE
Some other points:
• Elise had divorced parents and it was so normal which I think is great because her family wasn't perfect but it also wasn't a central point of the story that was causing her stress. It was just casually there showing us different family types and I thought that was great.
• On a somewhat related note her parents were hella cool
• I loved the romance in this story I am SQUISH.
• Give me more please?? I was satisfied with the ending and all but I just don’t want to leave this behind and also I will gladly read about what these characters are up to forever.
• Also, a book set in Rhode Island?? Sign me UP I live there. And it wasn't like a "Rhode Island book" with like oceans and beaches it was just like normal realistic life which was wonderful. They never actually mentioned it was in Rhode Island I just recognized all the towns and streets like a #nerd
I got so swept up in this story and this world and these characters and it was just so BEAUTIFUL.
Off to stalk this author because I love her writing and I think she's fantastic. Also to listen to the suggesting listening list at the end of the book because throughout reading it I was like this music looks bangin' and now here it is so I'm going to go do that.
