3.5

Finished this book in about 4 hours. Wasn’t bad but it wasn’t my favorite. I didn’t really connect with the characters/romance and at times it was very cliche. One plot line in this book even gave me the ick. (if you read this book you will know what part I’m talking about)

I did really appreciate the confession part of it. I know that all confessions in this book were real, and written by real people and somehow that gave me comfort. Even though some of the confessions were horrible, somehow someone had the courage to write that and release that secret into the world.

First things first, I was kind of frustrated when I went searching through reviews and couldn't find trigger warnings. I'm glad I asked a friend beforr I read too far. Friends, please remember that not everyone's triggers are the same... so I will be including trigger warnings - I don't care if they are spoilers or not. 
I liked the book. It was a good story. And the inclusion of the artwork was unique and I loved the art. Especially the idea of the art with the confessions. There was just so much lying and sadness in this book... I think CoHo and I just don't get along in that regard. I want happier stories - I hear enough sad stories about rough lives in real life. But I do think elements of this one were really important and it is well written.
