I had complicated feelings about this book. I thought Tia Williams did an incredible job portraying pain and what it’s like to live with a disability, addiction, recovery, depression, self harm, and the toll of poverty on a person. I enjoyed seeing Eva and Shane’s growth throughout the story and their deep connection felt palpable. However, the side characters were all so extreme in their personalities that they seemed more like caricatures of people rather than supporting characters with substance. Additionally, the languages and pop culture references really date the story and things like the use of social media (twitter, instagram, etc) seem exaggerated. Every time it was mentioned it took me out of the story. I wish we got more of a conclusive ending and saw more of Shane and Eva as an adult couple. The ending left me dissatisfied and wanting more.

Absolutely loved this book! It had everything for me, from real world issues to smut. Often authors don't know how to write children but Williams did a fantastic job with pre-teen and teenagers perspectives. The character growth felt real and true. Loved all the imagery and descriptions.

Absolutely love this author. The timeline and narrator jumping never felt confusing at ALL. It just made the story more vibrant and detailed.

LOOOOVED the chronic illness rep, it slayed so hard. The whole cast of characters being so unique and distinct is just one of the beautiful parts of this book.
