i absolutely loved jonah and his family in this book, and i think it was really wholesome to see their development throughout the book as well as jonah and vivi’s romance. i think that this book had necessary representation of mental illness, however - while i think it  is important to show the ugly sides of this - some of vivi’s treatment towards jonah really annoyed me. also, a lot of vivi’s dialogue felt quite unrealistic for a teenager. despite this, i thought this was a really lovely book, and the last few chapters were so lovely and poetic to read

i wish this book had more of a plot, the story is quite character driven witch is not my style. on the other hand I did love Vivi and I wish I could be more like her.

I think the reveal of what happened with Vivi´s friends back home could have been done differently, I just wish that it was framed as a bigger deal since it was hidden for so mutch of the book.

Each character was so well thought out and brimming with life. The plot was very colorful and interesting with a few secrets to discover which keeps the reader turning pages. Mental illness was also a large part of the story and the author did a beautiful job of incorporating it and bringing awareness.
