I had a lot of different feelings while reading this book, though not as many as Adelaide had! At times, I wanted to shake some sense into her, but it also brought back memories of starting a career and becoming an adult in my twenties. The book's last third was the most nuanced and enjoyable to read. I appreciated Adelaide's mental health journey, though I was frustrated by how easily and inexpensively it was for Adelaide to receive help. Ultimately, I couldn't help but love her character and struggles.
