4.5/5
Okay, i have no words. This was sosososo good.
Unlike anything I've read. I'm actually so happy Riley and Charlie didn't end up together. 17 and 27 ain't it and their problems just got in the way

i cried; multiple times while reading this book. The story can be very entertaining but it can also hit you like a barrel of bricks when it is least expected. 

10/10 recommended for a good cry and reflective read. Everyone is dealing with their own shit and Charlie just has more shit then others to deal with. She makes mistakes and fucks up- but so do humans. Even though, my life is nothing life hers, I felt connected to Charlie while reading. I felt like I understood her pain.

Such an eye opening plot that made me realise how some people can really suffer in their lives at a point the don’t even have a place to live when none of their family members wills to help them . My heart is hurting with them . And let’s don’t wonder how people become homeless
