this was… a journey. a healing journey, written in the best way possible. 
charlie deserved so much more than what her past gave her. such a young girl, never really getting to experience her childhood and teenage years. the quotes were beautiful, yet heartbreaking. reading about the events of charlies life.. once something good happened, it was crushed. but she healed. she healed without the magic of love. she did it herself. and seeing her thoughts and struggles, i could feel them myself. and you can notice that the author lived thru something similar, because it’s written in such a heartfelt way. one point, why’s there a girl named linus? and a dude named riley? lil confusing at this point. 
I’m happy with the way it ended.

This book is so utterly complex it was almost hard to rate. Its girtty and rosy at the same time. It both perfectly explains self harm and its negative effects and glamorizes a toxic relationship. I didn't want to love it but I did. I cried through the last third of the book and am
both satisfied and unsatisfied with the ending. I appreciate that the book doesn't have a happy ever after as its not a happy book but for Charlie I wanted someone to give her one. Gut wrenching and reflective.
