Pacing is at times a problem. Some chapters cover hours or days, others covers weeks and months with little to differentiate the passage of time. That broke my immersion at times.
There need to be content warnings. This is a young adult book and it deals with some very heavy stuff, see my content warnings below, that happens to a lot of people. For readers who are currently in crisis or looking to escape from their own depression or anxiety, come back to this when you are in a better state of mind. For people in a stable place, this is an excellent view into why mental health resources are so important, and so very absent, in underserved, metro communities. So many kids, and adults, are being failed. This novel does a good job at addressing those short comings as well.
An excellent read by a promising author!
