I loved this book. I love how the main character is realistic and relatable. The way the author slowly revealed things that made everything make sense was so brilliant. I'm obsessed with how Parker wasn’t just fixed and she realistically needed more time. Also can we take a moment for the hero of the story; Bailey!! He was so adorable and I love what he meant to Parker. This book hit me and I loved it.  I love this author and eat up all her books. This feels like a must read for all my fellow perfectionists out there.

This is my all-time favorite but definitely not a book for everyone, I enjoyed the storyline but Parker -the main character- was VERY dislike able, still absolutely loved her growth at the end.

This book had me confused for pretty much all of it. It was so worth it though. I highly recommend this if you loved Saddie. 

Spoiler

I wish/hope there is a story to what really happened to Jessie and even and update on how Parker did after therapy.
