Alright, I’ve given myself a day to get all my thoughts intact and I’m confident with my rating.
The idea of this story was an amazing one. Seeing someone care so much that they’d want to play hero to someone who is too far gone to be saved. Amazing idea, but poor execution. There were many spelling errors (sorry but it has to be said) and, in my opinion, the story was so poorly portrayed that I felt myself having to skim parts. The representation of how depression is, was the only realistic part in this story. But aside from that, it was poorly represented in my opinion.
When someone is so far gone in themselves because of their mental health, no one can save them aside from themself. A guy cannot save a person nine days in to meeting them. It’s just truly not possible.
The brother knowing what was going on and leaving all the pressure on to Colin to save Lily was so unfair to read. That pressure on him was just heartbreaking, especially seeing the love he began to have for her. Also, I HATE what Lily did at the end. She made the person she loves believe that she is dead, just for her to surprise him by being alive? I wouldn’t have forgiven her for that. Sorry, but I just wouldn’t. The poor mental health representation in this book, when it could have been amazing is what’s worse to think about.
