After reading You’d Be Home Now, I knew this was going to be just as good. Turned out it was better. This book was devastatingly beautiful. The characters were full of flaws, some more than others, every person just trying to stay alive the best they could. It was raw and reflective of so many people’s experiences. Beautifully written.

5 stars ୧ ‧₊˚ ⋅

°˖➴ this book was so good! i loved it so much and i’d KILL to read it for the first time again.

charlie & riley.. 🌚
°˖➴ i found the relationship w charlie & riley a little.. odd. especially the age gap like it was 5 years?!? it’s so weird bc she’s 17 and he was 22..! i’m glad he got sent to a mental hospital LIKE HE DESERVES. his real name is so fucking stupid i still make fun of it “irwin david baxter” bitch who names their child IRIWIN DAVID BAXTER. go back to the 1900s “tally ho!” ahh name.

louisa ☹️
°˖➴ LOUISA. i ♡ louisa with my whole heart. she was such a sweetheart. i love her and always will. i broke down a sobbed when i saw the words “louisa set herself on fire.” like oh. my. god. my heart broke and i sobbed for a good 20 minutes.

blue 🤍
°˖➴ don’t fucking get me started on blue. I LOVED HER SO MUCH. but the scene with her teeth broke my heart literally like i felt it break.
