Miss You Love You Hate You Bye by Abby Sher

4.0

Over a week after finishing this, I saw a card that had the word 'balls' in big font. My first thought was 'oh I know someone who would like that' - and then I realised that the person (people) I was thinking of were fictional! That alone I think speaks for how realistic this book is. It tackles a really hard subject, and one that's really personal to me - not just mental illness, but how it can be to love someone who's struggling, whilst also living your own life. I really liked the way that the letters were interspersed with the plot, and the way that both characters developed through these. Also, the ending was everything I wish I could have read ten years ago. It wasn't perfect, but I'm pleased this book exists.
