The book was an easy read; the chapters were short & straight to the point. I felt hopeful for the main characters & found myself really rooting for them. I enjoyed it (:

Wow I’m still kind of reeling so my rating may change a little once I’ve processed it but it was okay. It was good but I didn’t think it was life changing. The ending felt a little sudden but that seemed intentional. I didn’t love the characters or really the plot but I still must say that it was pretty good. It was also a super quick read. Some pretty heavy topics are covered so make sure to read the content warnings!!

The first 2/3 of this book were mediocre. The pace was slow. But, it was not too boring. Then the final 1/3 of the book changed everything. There were surprises and sadness and plot twists. I recommend this book, but if you get bored at first…please please finish it cause the ending is insane!

 I really enjoyed this book.

It was an easy and nice read, wasn't overfilled with unnecessary filler and the pacing was good. Giving a good and clear picture of what is happening in our main character's life, and her inner most feelings. It felt very true and real to how a teenager would feel.
