First things first, I was kind of frustrated when I went searching through reviews and couldn't find trigger warnings. I'm glad I asked a friend beforr I read too far. Friends, please remember that not everyone's triggers are the same... so I will be including trigger warnings - I don't care if they are spoilers or not.
I liked the book. It was a good story. And the inclusion of the artwork was unique and I loved the art. Especially the idea of the art with the confessions. There was just so much lying and sadness in this book... I think CoHo and I just don't get along in that regard. I want happier stories - I hear enough sad stories about rough lives in real life. But I do think elements of this one were really important and it is well written.
