Please, please read the trigger and content warnings before picking up this book. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who isn’t in a stable mental state, and make sure if you are to read this book, there is a trusted family member, friend or adult in your life you can go to if this book begins to affect you.

This was a great read focusing on mental health and substance abuse. It captures it in a very real way, and doesn’t ignore the fact that both are a lifelong issue that cannot magically be solved.
