“A girl’s life is the worst life in the world. A girl’s life is: you are born, you bleed, you burn.” 
This book was so raw in my opinion and it felt like the author was reaching into my brain and articulating my thoughts in a way that I’m not capable of, it destroyed me and the author’s note was just the cherry on top. 
Please look at the trigger warnings for this book because there are many!!

also fuck Riley.
Oh and Felix’s character was truly the light in the of the tunnel. In my opinion the last 50-60 pages are phenomenal!!

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.
