Actually helped me a lot with my own mental health. Didn't love the main character though. Still a great read!

Quite a heavy book. Just from reading the blurb, you would see it deals quite indepth with mental health struggles.

Olive was a complicated character, and was sometimes quite hard to like and understand why she was behaving the way she was. 

My heart broke for Lewis.

That was amazing! I did not expect to enjoy it that much and I don’t think it would be that deep! I  got attached to all the characters and I think the whole idea and the setting and stuff were so interesting and I also loved the authors writing style so would love to read some more from her. Over all it was an amazing book!

I didn’t really like Olive because she was so busy saving other people instead of herself. I do think the message and the mental health awareness in this book are very good! But Olive was just annoying.
specifically when she kinda took advantage of Lewis
overall i liked the idea and the message of this book so 3/5 stars
