Feels really autobiographical to me 
Very sad book 
I had hoped Charlie would get better 
It did seem like he desperately wanted to get better just like everyone in his family seem to want him to be 

I don’t see the relevance of Leah’s MFA group but I guess that’s just to show she had some sort of life 

Also the part about her mother felt flat 
Unless it’s to somehow point to a factor in her brokenness 
That trace and meet part too seemed like some closure was planned for but that too did not seem tied to any relevant end for me 

Her family; I don’t know what exactly they’re ; supportive or otherwise; it seems undecided

I thought I’d like this a lot more than I did but I can’t put my finger on why 🤔

raisinreads's review against another edition

both the characters and the relationship felt hollow. she kept narrating all of his great traits and how good he was, but none of that was shown. which could make sense in the way that shes justifying their relationship even to herself. but the book just jumps things and doesnt go into any depth in their relationship

I’m so tired of books that expect me to just accept that the main characters are in love without ever actually demonstrating how or why. The romance in this was so hollow. The portrayal of drug addiction was so surface level. I didn’t care for the pacing, the main character was insufferable, the whole “I’m in school to be a writer” plot was super corny. The audiobook was so painfully melodramatic for no reason. This whole book just didn’t work for me at all.
