This book does briefly in a very round about way talk about suicide. As a survivor of parents who committed suicide and one who struggles with depression, I didn’t like how it didn’t deal with it head on. It felt like the author was too scared to be open with it. I also felt like some of the choices made by both main characters were completely illogical, which made me like them less. I didn’t care for all the build up of the characters so that I finally enjoyed them, then had that rug ripped from underneath me. There were many chapters that felt slow and incredibly boring. I know I skimmed over a fair amount because it dragged on. There were way too many slow spots that just weren’t needed and felt like intentional fillers. One major plot point without spoiling it really made no sense to me (the character build up and reasoning or lack thereof about suicide). I felt like this book had so much potential and I was incredibly let down.
